Pepper sprays have been around for a long period of time, but with the evolution of technology, pepper sprays have evolved as well. Lipstick pepper spray is one of the newest things on the market. It is specially designed for women, having the form and size of a lipstick. It is small, so it can fit in every purse, makeup bag or even in every pocket and I believe that no woman should ever leave home without it.



One can never know what situation she can get in. Even the most innocent looking people can turn out to have bad intentions. Especially in the urban regions there are many robbers, kidnappers, rapists, thieves and many other villains who are looking for defenseless women. Even a date gone wrong can prove to be a situation when the pepper spray is needed. There was a big need for a product that is easy to use and gives good results regarding self defense. It’s time for women to stop feeling defenseless and to do something for our own safety.



Not everybody has the possibility to learn martial arts or to take any other self defense classes so lipstick pepper spray is a very handy solution in every situation regardless of the age of the user. However, I would advise you to try it out, so when you get in a sticky situation you can use it with ease because it is needed to get used to using it.

I have read many lipstick pepper spray reviews and I have found a product produced by TBO-Tech Self Defense Products. It is very easy to use: simply remove the cap of the lipstick pepper spray and aim at the face of the attacker. It will render you attacker helpless and this gives you a chance to get away. You can shoot to a distance up to 10 feet and the spray also works as a UV dye, so it marks the attacker which is very useful in the case of a later identification. These little tubes contain six one-second bursts.

The pepper sprays of this producer come in shiny metallic tubes of five colors: blue, pink, silver, red and black. The price range is $10 to $20. Pepper sprays contain chemicals which can naturally be found in hot cayenne or habanero peppers. The ingredient that makes the spray dangerous is the oleoresin capsicum (OC). The interesting thing about OC is that 2-10% of OC may cause faster effects than higher concentrations.



The effects of pepper spray include the dilution of the eye capillaries causing temporary blindness. It also causes swelling of the bronchial tissues and temporary paralysis of the larynx so it becomes hard to breathe. It also may cause choking and gagging. These effects last about 29-90 minutes, so the victim has enough time to escape. It is said that the best lipstick pepper sprays have a concentration of 10% O. It is good to keep this in mind when you want to buy a new pepper spray.
