Buy Self-Defense Products: Women’s Self Defense, Safety And Anti Assualt Lipstick Device - In Stock On 17, October 2007 October 17, 2007

This Women’s Self Defense, Safety And Anti Assualt Lipstick Deviceis perfect for the woman traveller who doesn’t want to carry around large bottles or canisters of pepper spray because they are too bulky.

Although this Women’s Self Defense, Safety And Anti Assualt Lipstick Device looks like it’s the size of a regular lipstick, it’s actually a little bigger—3.75 inches tall and 0.75 inches in diameter.

Still, Women’s Self Defense, Safety And Anti Assualt Lipstick Devicefits nicely into any purse, and is cute (as opposed to ugly), making the likelihood that you’ll actually have it when you need it much greater.

Women’s Self Defense, Safety And Anti Assualt Lipstick Device contains 5 one second bursts. I know that’s not a lot, but that’s how the size stays so small. I’d gladly replace it after I use it.

I’ve only sprayed it once, and that was to test it, and it worked great. I’m saving my remaining 4 bursts for emergencies. It is supposed to spray up to 6 feet and mine did at least that.

And added benefit of this lipstick pepper spray is that an attacker might not know what you’re doing ahead of time and grab this from you, also increasing the chance that you’d get to use it if you needed it.

Overall, this is a great little product. Highly recommended.
