Personally, I think having multiple self-defense methods makes sense. My only concern with these products that people (especially women) may buy them to feel a sense of security as opposed to really preparing to use them to stop an assault.

My point here is that any of these tools are only good if they are in your hand the moment you are attacked.

I do not blame a woman for purchasing any of these items. However, I think additional unarmed self-defense training is probably a good idea since women are often attacked by someone they know. It means that she will have to be ready to REACT instantly.

I am glad you put up this post because it makes me want to do more research on some of the products offered by this company. I read on another site that tasers are not always effective at hurting an attacker. I want to get a broader perspective of these tools.
