Have you ever been to a crowded bar, party, or concert and found yourself being harassed by a man who is wanting to get a little bit too close to you? Or on a jog you encountered a shadowy figure who began to trail you for a few blocks and suddenly those documentaries seemed all too familiar. The boss may have asked you to stay late to work on a project, but as you go to leave the building, you notice a group of men standing around your car. Maybe these situations have never happened to you, but possibly you have been in a situation where you are unable to call someone for help and wished you only had a discreet silent alarm that would reach your contacts for you. Meet the Shield Line and why it is Dexter’s, our Technology Expert and Chief Field Development officer, favorite set of products Damsel has to offer!
Damsel in Defense’s unique line of Silent Alarms creates the opportunity for you to stay safe in tricky circumstances where dialing 911, a friend, or partner is not an option. Our team has worked with our developers to provide three different options available for all different lifestyles! Check out the options below:
The most affordable on the list, this newer addition to the Shield line is perfect for those with active lifestyles and prefer a keychain-adaptable option. Sleek and discreet, this design is made to blend in whether that is on a keychain or hooked onto a purse, clutch, or even your belt loop. The silent alarm button is perfectly set flush with the product so the danger of accidentally setting off the device is minimized. We recommend the Silent Signal for the following lifestyles:
- College students on the go
- Party people and those who frequent busy events
- Active people who participate in run clubs or various activities throughout the day
- Children ages 10+
- Professionals who travel often
A step up from the Silent Signal in function, the Hear Me Out is the perfect companion for the adult who leads a less active lifestyle or for those with limited mobility. Bigger by design, the Hear Me Out offers three impressive features in a flashlight, a 120-decibel alarm, and the signature silent alarm. The silent alarm button can be triggered one of two ways – with the small, slightly raised button or in use with the 120-decibel alarm. We recommend the Hear Me Out for the following lifestyles:
- Older adults who may benefit from the slightly raised silent button
- Those with limited or slowed mobility
- Those who enjoy the comfort of having a device that may be louder then their voice or in the event using their voice is not an option
- School age children who may have a hard time with the button on the Silent Signal
The perfect product for those who want distance defense with the benefits of the Shield alarm, the Protected Pepper with Shield is built for the working woman who girl bosses late into the night at the office, students who take night classes, or those who feel at ease having their community at the ready to help if their pepper is deployed and they do not have the time or ability to call the police for help. The silent button on the Pepper Spray is strategically placed under the pepper deployment tab when in the “unlocked” or ready-to-fire position for a one-motion defense and silent call for help. We recommend the Protected Pepper with Shield for the following lifestyles:
- Professionals who stay late at the office or meet often with others solo, like Realtors
- College Students who have night classes, work late, and/or meet with professors, trainers, or mixers alone
- Any adult who enjoys the added protection of the silent alarm in conjunction with pepper spray
Dexter loves this line we offer because of the integration with technology. His heart points to new possibilities for Shield technology and appreciates the incorporated innovation to be able to send out immediate alerts to loved ones alerting them of the danger one may find oneself in. The line carries something for everyone, no matter your lifestyle or your budget, and is even beneficial to those who simply have the free App downloaded on their phone. Dexter has been with Damsel for four years and has enjoyed every minute of being on the Damsel team! He is a born and raised Idaho native and spends the majority of his time with his beautiful wife and two little kids. His passion for personal safety drives him to continuously work with our developers to bring the best and more updated version of the Shield App and products possible!
