Why Stylish Keychains Are Important for Self Defense

Pretty self defense keychains are a recent thing.

Just 10 years ago if someone wanted to carry a pepper spray or stun gun for self defense, they had 1 option: black color.

While many consumers still choose a timeless black color for personal protection, many also elect to arm themselves with modern colors and designs. Consumers, specifically women, will often select an array of different colors and designs and it's not just for fashion.

In this article we will examine why pretty keychains are important for self defense.

Social Stigma

First impressions are everything. People tend to perceive others based on how they look and how they present themselves.

Imagine if you were at work and your colleague had a black cannister with a red button hanging out of her bag. How would you feel? Most people would find that slightly intimidating, lacking social awareness, and possibly even threatening.

Now imagine if you were at work and your colleague had a light pink jeweled cannister with a red button hanging out of her bag. While some people might still find it menacing, many would find it less intimidating and threatening simply because of its appearance.

Optics are important in society. A woman who carries around a dangerous looking weapon may be seen as weird or possibly even dangerous. On the other hand a woman who carries an elegant lavender floral design self-defense product may be perceived as friendlier and less intimidating.

Legal Considerations

Optics and appearances plays a role as you interact with law enforcement and deal with legal situations.

For example if you are at a concert, and the security guard finds a black stun gun in your purse, he might have to confiscate it due to protocol. On the other hand if you had a pastel rainbow stun gun, he may view it as non-threatening or not even notice it in the first place. Optics matters in fast-paced, high intensity situations.

Likewise, a police officer may not even notice or view a self defense product as innocuous if it's adorned in pretty colors or chic designs. If the police officer asks you why you have this item, you can honestly answer that you love the style and it matches your outfit.

Surprise Factor

A kidnapper or attacker may underestimate the effectiveness and potency of your self defense weapon if it simply looks like a pretty keychain.

A golden cheetah-print stun gun with sparkling jewels can still release 2 million volts of electricity which is more than powerful enough to disable someone. In a fast-paced situation, a kidnapper may overlook the pretty keychain because it doesn't trigger any warning signals to them.

Fashion

It's no surprise that women would prefer to carry stylish keychains because it makes them look better. Maybe her favorite color is purple or the white pepper spray goes with her summer outfit, but fashion is key to accessorizing.

Not only are defence keychains made in every color under the sun, but they are decked out in animal prints, geometric patterns, and abstract designs. Anyone will be able to find a style and set that fits what they're looking for.

Final Thoughts on Pretty Keychains

Pretty keychains for protection are one of the best and easiest developments in the self-defense industry.

Consumers still have the choice of traditional black or metal colors, but can also choose from a wide variety of newer more modern colors and designs.

The fashion variety especially appeals to the younger generation who are more expressive in their taste and prefer diverse options.

At the end of the day, adding new designs and colors is extremely easy for manufacturers to do and it's getting safety products into the hands of more women and men who want and need them.

In the future, we will continue to see new styles added, as well as new materials and textures. SDK Store carries hundreds of different colors and designs, and we plan to eventually offer thousands of styles so every person who wants a safety keychain can find what fits them best.
