Personal safety is a top priority and pepper spray can help. As a personal protection product, pepper spray is used to deter a physical attacker. Knowing how to properly use it will aide in your self defense should the need arise. Protect yourself by learning how to use pepper spray with the simple steps below.

One of the most important things to remember is that when you are under attack that you cannot lose control. You have to try to remain as calm as possible throughout the attack. Make sure that you carry your pepper spray in an easy to locate place so you are not wasting precious time searching for it. Having a small canister of Pepper spray on a keychain is very convenient. Get in the habit that when you are walking to your car at night, or in any vulnerable situation, that your pepper spray is out and ready to be used should someone approach you and makes you feel threatened.

Your canister of pepper spray should always be used when it is being held in an upright position. The way they are designed it is pretty easy to avoid turning it upside down or sideways. One of the things to put some time into practicing is the release of the safety switch or also known as the actuator. Holding the canister upright you simply slide the switch over with your thumb. Easy to do and will come naturally if you have practiced doing it.

It does not get too much simpler now. Aim the canister of pepper spray directly at your attackers face. Press the button and hit him with the spray. It is a good idea to make sure you don’t get sprayed also. A little trick you can use when spraying is to raise your other hand in front of your face so you don’t get affected by the spray.

Please do not be afraid of permanently blinding the attacker. When sprayed liberally in the face he will be incapacitated for about a half an hour. To get the best effect aim directly at his face and keep that button pressed so you douse him pretty good.

Sometimes you might not be able to shoot the pepper spray directly at an attackers face. Maybe their hand is up or they have a mask on. If that is the case still try to aim for as close to the face as possible. He will inhale the spray and that alone can put him down for awhile as he coughs and chokes. Remember, it is even more effective if you are able to have the spray contact his bare skin. Spray and run to safety.

It is okay to practice using pepper spray. You should practice quickly pulling it out and aiming it so that the next time that you are in dangerous situation you will be quick at the draw. Pepper spray could save your life when an attacker who is intent on causing you harm approaches you. It will give you up to 30 minutes to run from the location.

When you buy pepper spray learn how to use it. Don’t just throw it in your purse or briefcase. Knowing how to use it properly can save your life.
