How could this product be better?
September 9th, 2010 | 
Author: I am talking about mace or pepper spray. I am designing a new adaptation of this product. My target audience and market are college girls. There have been issues related to physical or sexual assault on certain college campuses since one can remember. The task at hand is to create a self defense item that would be practical when young women go for a stroll or a jog.
What would make it more effective against an assailant? Is portability, grip or firing method an issue or concern? What about the safety pin or mode of operation? Would you, as a user and consumer, prefer to use you index finger or your thumb to deploy the contents? It should be very comfortable to operate. What can you say of materials and color options?
Only serious answers please. We are all mature people here. Thank you!

I would never rely on some spray thing to protect me.
Using mace spray or pepper spray as a self defense is really an effective way to protect yourself. Just like your target buyer, the college students. I think they maybe more comfortable of having that self defense weapon, since you can spray it away from the attackers. You don’t need to come near with them, by spraying it on them you still have time to escape and run for help. And it is really comfy to use.
