Frequently Asked Questions

Will my alarm accidentally go off in my bag?

No, the alarms are intentionally designed without buttons so that they can’t be accidentally knocked and activated. You need to pull firmly to dislodge the pin from the device, causing it to activate.

What is the difference between the two alarms for sale?

Option 1 introduces our 'Personal Safety Alarm.' The concept behind this alarm involves removing the pin from the device and discarding the top portion, either by throwing it away or concealing it, to hinder the perpetrator's ability to easily silence the alarm.

Option 2 presents our 'Personal Safety Keychain Alarm,' which operates on a similar principle as Option 1. However, in this version, the chain remains attached to the device, reducing the risk of losing it. A demonstration video showcasing this feature is available on the product page.
