Women's Health Products

Posts Tagged ‘mace’

There have been a string of attacks on women in my area within the last 2 weeks so im looking to get some extra protection while i am alone, ive searched the website of Kmart and Walmart but dont see any products for Mace or Pepper spray.

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 have recently heard of a concept similar to a "Spa Party" but with self defense instead of beauty products. I am thinking of hosting one where you invite ladies to attend to learn basic self defense moves and buy self defense tools (mace, panic buttons, etc.). The workshop would cost per person, and the host could use that venue to promote local self defense or martial arts schools. This is targetted for the average woman with little or no martial arts or self defense skills so the teachings are easy to understand. The certifying process costs about 0, so I wanted to know if there are women who would attend such an event.
