Pepper Spray Gel Ensures Your Attackers Eyes Get Burnt and Stay Burnt

Adam Frucci — Wed, 07 May 2008 12:50:00 EDT

Because getting maced just doesn't suck enough, there's now mace pepper spray gel. This shit will coat your face with pure, burning stickiness, turning your misinterpreted flirting into a blind search for water or anything else that'll provide relief for your painful, painful face. The benefit to the sprayer is that there's no mist, so all of the painful chemicals will end up in your assailant's eyes, nose and mouth rather than in the air around you. It "sticks to the face like glue," according to the marketing materials. Holy shit. Only $15! How can you say no?! [Product Page via Gadget Lab via Book of Joe]

"Spider-Man" Pepper Spray Bracelet Looks Like a Toy

Matt Buchanan — Thu, 01 Nov 2007 18:40:53 EDT

Aside the fact that it's easy as balls to spot from a mile away thanks to its impressive heft and blue hue, Domonique Torrence's Spider-Man-inspired pepper spray bracelet comes close to being a useful idea. It's loaded with pepper spray cartridges, so you just slam the button in your palm to disperse the mild irritant into your attacker's face or other body part(s) without fishing around in your purse for a can. It's coming out later this year for 30 bucks, and if nothing else, it'll match your similarly bulky, ugly Crocs. [Local6 via CG]

Swarovsky Crystal Embedded Pepper Spray

You'd think rich ladies would be the target of muggings more than poor ladies, hence, this Swarovsky crystal-embedded pepper spray. But then again, rich ladies don't usually venture into lousy neighborhoods. But if they did, and they were carrying this, wouldn't it lead to a mugging?

All we know is the most expensive one costs $295. – Jason Chen

Lipstick Pepper Spray

Travis Hudson — Mon, 10 Jul 2006 15:43:43 EDT

For females or even males there is always a chance of being attacked in a dark alley behind your favorite shady bar. This small and cheap ($13) gadget can trick the attacker into thinking you are prettying up for them when really they will just get a load of pepper spray in the eye.

I'm not sure how wise of an idea this is. A night full of drunken debauchery may hinder your ability to tell the difference between a spray nozzle and lipstick, eventually giving yourself a mouthful of pepper spray. Oh well, at least it will be useful for those three hours per day that you aren't drunk. – Travis Hudson
