Personal Alarm – Self Defense Essentials

Compact, 135 dB personal alarm designed for daily carry, night walks, travel and emergency readiness. Non-violent deterrence for people who want attention and time to escape, not a fight.

Personal Safety Alarm
135 dB Quick pull-pin Travel friendly

A personal alarm is one of the simplest and fastest defensive tools you can carry. With a loud 135 dB siren, it startles, creates distance and pulls attention toward you so you have precious seconds to move away and reach a safer place.

Unlike physical tools that require strength, training or close contact, a personal alarm is designed for non-contact deterrence. Clip it to your keys, bag or belt and use it when something feels wrong long before a situation turns into a direct confrontation.

Who it's for: Ideal for commuters, students, night-shift workers, runners, elderly family members and solo travellers who want a lightweight, always-with-you safety layer that does not require force or combat skills.

Key features

  • Up to 135 dB high-pitched alarm to draw attention fast
  • Simple pull-pin activation, easy to use under stress
  • Compact body suitable for keys, bags or belt loops
  • Built-in LED light on many models for dark environments
  • Battery-powered design with long standby time

Best use cases

  • Night walks, commuting and parking lots
  • Travel terminals, public transport and busy urban areas
  • College campuses, festivals and crowded events
  • Elderly users, teens and solo travellers

How to use it effectively

  • Keep it clipped in a consistent, easy-to-reach spot (keys, bag strap, belt loop).
  • Practice pulling the pin and re-inserting it calmly at home so the motion feels natural.
  • Use the alarm early, when your instincts say something is off, not as a last reaction.
  • As soon as it sounds, move toward light, people or open areas instead of staying in place.

Important notes

A personal alarm is a deterrence and awareness tool, not a guarantee of safety. Always stay aware of your surroundings, trust your instincts and combine it with good habits like sharing routes and checking in with trusted contacts.

Keep spare batteries available if the model is not rechargeable, and test the alarm occasionally in a safe environment so you know it still works and you are comfortable using it.
