Pepper Shot Lipstick Pepper Spray

My journey in the self-defense industry started in the 90s. In all that time the lipstick pepper spray is one of the cleverest carry options I have come across. Not because it looks cute. Because nobody knows what it is. And that is the whole point.

This is a fully functional pepper spray canister built to look exactly like a tube of lipstick. Same size. Same shape. Same profile in your hand and in your purse. Nobody walking by knows what you are carrying. Including the wrong people.

Here is where it shines. When someone is getting in your space, grabbing you, and it is not a gun situation — that fight or flight moment where things are about to go wrong. That is when you reach into your purse, say OK OK OK to buy yourself a second, and quietly wrap your hand around that lipstick canister. They think you are grabbing your lipstick. You know exactly what you are grabbing.

Practice removing the cap with one thumb before you need it for real. That one second matters more than most people realize.

The Pepper Shot Lipstick Pepper Spray contains 1.2% Major Capsaicinoids — that is the actual heat compound that stops an attacker. It also includes UV identifying dye so law enforcement can identify an attacker after the fact. Half ounce size. Six to ten short bursts depending on how it is used. Range of approximately six to eight feet.

Available in black, red, and pink. The black one blends in. Nobody knows what it is. The pink one is easy to find fast if you drop it in the dark. You pick what works for how you carry.

This is a backup tool. It fits naturally at the bottom of your purse, in a makeup bag, or in a drawer at home. For your primary carry consider stepping up to a two ounce canister clipped inside your purse pocket. The lipstick is your last resort when nothing else is accessible.
