In these days of rising crimes and the unsafe environment around you and your family, you have to think of some sort of self defense methods. Of course there are the law enforcing agencies but it is not possible for a few thousand policemen to constantly safeguard the life, dignity and properties of all citizens round the clock without support from the society itself. You may think of gadgets like digital surveillance camera. However the gadget is expensive and does not give you any real time protection excepting warning you about an unwelcome intruder.

Conversely you may go for the door stop alarm but again the alarm can only warn you about some one coming. But if some one is able to get past that security belt, you do not have any means of self defense available. The same is also the case of the electronic pocket whistle. You may or may not get the chance to use it at the real time. By the time you whisk the whistle out of your pocket and try to blow it, the attacker may be all over you depriving you of the chance to use it.

This brings you up to one of the best real time self defense products, the pepper spray. When some one attacks you, it can be used at once to thwart his moves and the spray on his face can stun him at least for some time and you get the time to seek help from law enforcing agencies or at least run to safety.
