Our society today is no longer a safe place to live. Violence and other immoral acts are happening in every corner of the country. You might even find yourself or your loved as the victim of this atrocity. To spare yourself from being a subject of violence, there are simple ways to do in which you can prevent them. There are now self-defense training that could give you higher level of protection in each you are trapped in an uncompromising situation. Many organizations are now offering workshops and other self-defense training sessions that will teach you on how you can effectively handle each situation. Learning self-defense could be a great option but many are still hesitant in taking these classes.

For those who don't want to take these lessons, they can always opt for self-defense weapons which could also protect them in the same level as the self-defense training. Patrons of these self-defense weapons are mostly women as they are usually the easy target of any kind of violence. Being equipped with a self-defense weapon gives women the chance to protect themselves from any harm. This way, statistics on sexual assault and any violence on women could go down. The mace and the pepper spray are the most common self-defense weapons that are usually found on women's purse or bags. These weapons are effective protection that offers portability and reliability. These two sprays are legal and can be found in every market in the country. This is a perfect alternative in impending violence against your attackers.

Though these two products are both sprays, you can still notice their big difference. There has been a great debate on which is more effective. Now, this article will give you a comprehensive information that would help you determine on which product would give you utmost protection against your attackers.

First let's tackle about the mace. This kind of self-defense product is a one percent aerosol irritant and inflammatory substance to cause extreme pain on the eyes of your attacker. Those who are sprayed with this substance could experience excessive burning of the eyes hence causing them temporary blindness. Also, the nasal passages and the lungs will be irritated hence your attacker would find it difficult to breathe. With this, you are given enough time to run and seek for help to other pedestrians.

Meanwhile, the pepper spray is also known as the OC spray which is basically a liquid that is made from hot peppers and are suspended in an oily carrier. This oil will prompt the hot pepper to irritate the skin hence causes discomfort to any one who is exposed to the pepper spray. While the two products have different ingredients, they still have the same effects. However, the effect of the pepper spray may be strong but it is not as crippling as the mace. Both of these products offer you great protection so just make sure to use them properly. If not executed as it should, you might also be a victim of these sprays.
