Pocket alarm scares away attackers - the pocket siren with 120 DB
Women are increasingly stocking up on pepper sprays, stun guns and pocket sirens. However, the use of pepper spray is often questionable because you can only use the spray in a self-defense situation and if the attacker comes physically close to you. But by then it is usually too late to get out of this situation safely. In addition, when using pepper spray, you should always check the wind direction briefly, otherwise there is a risk of getting the sharp spray in your eyes.
It is therefore much better to use a pocket alarm. The police also like to advise women to use this device. Because if your mouth is covered during an attack, you can usually still reach into your pants or jacket pocket and press the alarm. If the pocket siren is activated, an extremely loud, unmistakable tone sounds. It is roughly comparable to the noise of a jet taking off. The triggered alarm frightens the attacker extremely and people in the area become aware of the situation and can help.
The shrill tone also has an additional effect: the attacker notices that as a woman you cannot be intimidated and are not defenseless. And to be honest: If you are a woman traveling alone in India, where rape of women is almost the order of the day, an Indian attacker will definitely not know what pepper spray looks like and will therefore not be deterred from the start. In addition, the pocket alarm is also particularly suitable for children to call for help in case of danger.
Another advantage of pocket sirens or pocket alarms: They are inexpensive to purchase, easy to use - even in the most stressful situations - and they have no side effects. And pocket alarms cannot be used against the user. The attacker is not injured. This means that there is no risk of negligent bodily harm.
The alarm siren can be attached to your handbag or to your waistband and is immediately ready to hand in a dangerous situation and is equipped with three functions:
- The attacker is deterred by an unmistakably loud and shrill sound of around 120 decibels. The people in the area are also immediately made aware. The alarm is activated by simply pulling down firmly on the metal ring at the bottom and removing the pin.
- Your own bag is also well protected with this alarm. To do this, the loop that comes with the device is simply connected to a piece of clothing and the alarm itself is attached to the bag. If the thief snatches the bag, the alarm is triggered immediately, and the criminal attracts attention because he cannot turn off the alarm. Because the metal pin ends up hanging on the loop that hangs on the victim's body. The criminal will then most likely drop the bag.
- An LED light is often built into the pocket siren. This is particularly practical in the dark when you need to quickly find the keyhole for the car. Instead of searching for a long time, the door is opened in seconds.
An alternative to the pocket siren or pocket alarm would be the alarm bracelet from alarmbands. The alarm band can be worn directly on your hand.
