In this day and age, you can never keep yourself too safe as a woman, and personal safety devices are really worth looking into. It's a fact of life that as far as personal safety is concerned, it's better to be prepared than to be caught unawares. Here, we've rounded up a litany of options that will help you feel safer without compromising on style.
Most of the items listed below are classic "panic button" devices (or apps) that are concealed within a smartwatch or piece of jewelry, but which will contact either the authorities or pre-selected emergency contacts when activated. Other options include an array of alarms that can be turned on instantly with the dual aims of scaring any would-be attacker off and attracting the attention of passersby to help.
No matter what kind of personal safety device you prefer to carry, there is an option for everyone on this list. These could help save your life.
Undercover Colors Nail Polish
The main idea behind Undercover Colors, a date rape drug-detecting nail polish, is that a woman wearing it could simply dip a finger in her drink and her nail polish would change color if a date-rape drug (specifically rohypnol or GHB) were detected. Largely geared towards the bar scene, this product could only be an asset to women.
Since being announced in 2014, Undercover Colors has been seeking funding and working on research and development, which might have paid off - recent updates to their website and statements from the founders suggest a release is coming soon.
Wisewear Socialite Bracelet
Wisewear's Socialite line is a combination of a safety device and a simple smart bracelet. The bracelets can do smartwatch things like notifications (the bracelet vibrates when you get notifications that you prioritize) and fitness tracking, but a distress message can be sent to designated contacts with just a few taps.
With a forked, distinctive look and gold, rose gold, and palladium options, the Calder also looks fantastic as a piece of jewelry, along with the more expensive Duchess and the less expensive Kingston. Having to charge the bracelets every few days is somewhat of a drawback, and a Bluetooth connection to your phone is required for the distress messages to be sent out, but they're beautiful for devices that do a lot of things in a very simple way
