1 - Brass Knuckle

First and most obvious self defense product on our list here is a brass knuckle. Don't worry, you don't have to be a pro boxer or training in  hand to hand martial arts to wear a pair of knuckle duster or at least keep them with you on a night out.

A solid brass knuckle must fit well into your knuckles so double check the size of knuckle rings before purchasing this self defense product. Don't worry about using a knuckle loaded fist on your attacker as most probably it won't cause any lethal injury to him.

In order to perfectly confront the aggressor, make sure you are using this self defense product correctly. Keep a right posture-meaning tilt a little to one side and keep one foot forward and both knees a little bent.

Next, you need to make sure your punches don't take a toll on you. Throw quick fist jabs rather than 180 degree straight thrusts. This angle will transfer the force from your body to your knuckles. Brass knuckle will then concentrate it onto its pointed wedges atop each knuckle ring to magnify the force of your punch. This self defense product requires skill.

2 - Pen Knife

Next self defense product on our list is not as brash and heavy handed as our first one. A pen knife is a delicate little hidden self defense weapon for the ultra sophisticated people who shiver at the mention of carrying a mere knife.

But this clever self defense product side steps the awkwardness as well as the discomfort of carrying a weapon by being cleverly concealed inside a pen. Why worry about hiding your knife when you can proudly display it sitting in your pen holder at the office?

With a functional nib, you can sign your papers with this self defense product but in case of a sudden attack, the pen knife (perfect for a pocket) can be disengaged from its pen cover to reveal a hidden blade-all within a matter of seconds. How cool and convenient is that!

When it comes to hidden self defense products, we say a pen knife is right up there with any weapon characters in Mission Impossible franchise would use. So why not jump on the coolness bandwagon and get your own pen knife?

3 - Sword Cane

Talking about hidden self defense products, the next thing on our list is an epitome of grace and practicality. People from all age groups can get away with holding a sword cane. A sword cane looks just like an ordinary walking cane except that it has a hidden sword inside the hollow shaft.

This is a perfect self defense product for elderly. As the sword cane is a suitable walking aid on your evening stroll. A mugger might think of you as too frail to retaliate and the fact that you could be armed would never even cross him.

So shock him with revealing the true nature of your walking stick by tugging on the head of the cane and taking out a thin rapier style sword out of your self defense product.. Now his knees will go weak and he will be running in the opposite direction cursing himself for having chosen a wrong target.

For young people, a sword cane is an ideal aid for trekking or hiking. It provides ample support especially when venturing through snowy landscapes. The wilderness is where you most need a self defense product. So carry it for protection, or use the sharp blade for cutting across tree branches or chopping wood.

4 - Pepper Spray

Why is it no surprise that pepper spray is included in the list of top self defense products? Since pepper spray is already so popular, we will not cry out its praises but give you more information as to how to make the best use of it.

The best type of pepper spray varies across situations but we recommend getting one with greatest range and lowest chance of a blowback. You don't want your self defense product harming you so pick a perfect spray that would avoid just that.

Ideally, a foam or a gel pepper spray is considered best because of the thick viscosity of the OC compound in the pepper spray bottle. These pepper sprays can penetrate the smokiest of air and will project out as far as 20ft or more. You don't want to get near the intruder if you have a self defense product that can attack him from that far away.

The irritant OC mixture in foam and gel pepper sprays also tends to stick to the target's body for longer. The more he tries to rub it off him the more it hurts and seeps further into the skin. This self defense product, when squirted right, will give you plenty of escape time as the target is sure to yelp away in pain.

5 - Mini Stun Gun

Stun guns have to be the most popular and effective self defense products these days. Although mostly used by law enforcement officers as a non lethal restraining weapon, ordinary folks these days seem to like carrying it for self defense.

Mini stun guns are shaped like everyday objects which are small enough to hold in the palm of your hand and can be carried out without anyone noticing the spikey electrodes.

A mini ring stun gun, keychain stun gun as well as flashlight stun gun are all easy enough to conceal and carry. Since stun guns only work when directly in contact with a person's skin, you will defend yourself when the attacker is really close. This hidden self defense product will take the target by surprise. 

Even before the millions of volts start being ejected from the stun gun into his body, he will be stunned. Ideally, you must keep this self defense product plunged into the body for a few seconds for a perfect zap. Mini stun guns also are really noisy. When you just want to raise an alarm, use the alarm switch to ward off anyone.
