Being a massage therapist for a famous day spa is a demanding job. I have to arrive before it opens at 9 am and leave only after all customers are gone at 12 midnight. I do not work for 8 hours and get off at 6, like office employees do.
My work starts when everyone else is about to mellow down from a busy day’s work. In any spa, the bunch of the work usually comes in only after other people had finished doing their jobs.
There are times when I even have to leave around 1 am. In the kind of job that I have, carrying self defense products is highly important.
I am glad that my boss is the type who is concerned for her personnel and gave each of us our own self defense products. This included a whistle, a flashlight and a choice between stun guns or pepper sprays.
The Electronic Key Chain Whistle emits a 120db loud sound with just a push of the button. This can be very useful especially to call people’s attention and discourage muggers along the way.
I bring the 9 LED Flashlight with me for my daily walk home. This flashlight has super bright 9 shock resistant LEDs and it allows me to see my path clearly. In choosing self defense products available in the market, I had to make sure it fits very well with my situation.
Pepper sprays in general are very easy to carry and can easily be hidden in pockets and fit into small purses. As pepper sprays can briefly blind an attacker, this gives any person the chance to call for help or run to safety.
But I realized that stun guns have higher stopping power, which was why I chose one. Its high voltage can incapacitate a mugger and simply test firing it would intimidate anyone. Self defense products like stun guns can ensure protection in life threatening situations.
