Someone you trust now could do you wrong another time. Domestic violence and date rape are just a few of the crimes in which the perpetrator is someone the victim trusted.

All models of the pepper Mace spray have a safety cap, key chain, and any or all of a Velcro-like attachment, belt clip or holster for doubtlessly convenient usage. A means of self defense I recommend most often to women is the pepper Mace spray.
Most women do not want to carry something that looks like a weapon. In this case the pepper Mace spray doesn't look like a weapon so women don't question carrying it.
The Mace PepperGard is a good choice for women because you can get it in hot pink. It also has a practical 18 gram size, and flip-top safety cap.
The Mace PepperGard pepper spray has a powerful formula with 10% pepper. It takes full effect for 30 to 45 minutes and its reduced effects can last for a longer time than that.
I keep the Personal model of pepper Mace spray in my car and when I ride my bike to work I carry the Mace Police. The Mace Police spray is modeled after what the police use.
When you are in the company of someone you know, you are vulnerable to assault and battery because you let your guard down. That is why you should have the pepper Mace spray with you at all times for security because there is no telling what an offender is going to look like.
