For me there’s not much worse than men who threaten or harm women – we all know the kind of predators that we’re talking about. There might be some protection with this lipstick pepper spray though.

Girls, if you feel threatened or in danger, let him have it in the face and he will be temporarily blinded and have great difficulty breathing for 40 minutes!

The self-defence spray looks just like an ordinary lipstick, but contains a 10% concentrated pepper spray. The spray contains a lachrymatory agent that immediately irritates the eyes and induces coughing. There’s enough spray for ten 1 second bursts at a range of up to 3 meters, which will immobilise your attacker so you can make your escape.

The pepper spray, similar to that used by police forces all over the world, acts very quickly and is non-lethal. Just as an extra bonus, the spray contains an invisible UV marker; perhaps enabling you to identify your attacker to the police.

I’m not sure if this accessory is legal in some countries. You could say it was the ultimate self-defence gadget, but of course it could be abused too.

In any case, the lipstick pepper spray costs 20 dollars from Pimall.
