Self-Defense Weapons ? How to Use Pepper Spray - For Women

The biggest reason that women choose self defense pepper sprays over other forms of self protection is that most of the pepper sprays that you buy today have a range of 5 ? 10 feet. So they can stop an attacker before he is close enough to grab you and wrestle the device out of her hands. Stun guns are more powerful, but you need direct contact with the person before they are effective, and sometimes men would be able to over power the women before she had a chance to use her stun gun to protect herself.

The key to getting the most effective use out of your product is to fully understand how it is to be used. Even though self defense pepper sprays are designed so that anyone can use it effectively, there are still some tips to keep in mind to make sure you?re using it as effectively as possible. A pepper spray canister works like a can of spray paint. Just aim at your attacker?s face and press the button.

If you are approached by a potential thief or rapists, make sure you stay calm and watch your assailant while you are spraying him. Most people will be stopped with a short 2 ? 3 second shot to the face. Keep your eyes open. It is a natural tendency to close your eyes when you are spraying to keep from getting the stuff in your own eyes. But if you are spraying away from yourself, this will not happen. It is very important that you keep your eyes open so that you can see if the other person moves to the side to keep from being sprayed. If he does move you need to readjust your aim. Most attackers will turn and run if they see you have some self defense pepper sprays and you look calm and prepared to use it. If the first 2 ? 3 second burst did not fully stop the other person, you will need to give them another burst to fully incapacitate them.

There are a couple of different ways of spraying your device at the other person. One is to just point the canister towards your attacker?s face and spray it while holding your aim steady. Another is to use the ?fan technique,? spraying quickly from side to side, this method is best if the other person is trying to dodge the spray. Always keep your eye on the assailant to be sure that no matter the technique you use, the spray is reaching their face.

Always carry your self defense pepper sprays where they are easy to get at. And practice on the fastest way to get at it if you need it. It is a very good idea to have it out and ready to use if you are walking alone.

Using self defense pepper sprays is a very good way for you to protect yourself.
