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.

If you find yourself in a situation where you actually have to use the self defense spray make sure you hold it properly. Always hold the canister in an upright position. Don’t try to get fancy and hold it upside down or sideways. The next thing you do is take the safety switch or actuator off. Usually this just involves rotating it with your thumb so it can fire. It will assist you tremendously if you practice this simple maneuver a few times before you really need to do it.

All you have to do now is aim for the attacker’s face, press down, and spray. It is a good practice to put your hand in front of your face just before you spray in case the wind is blowing back towards you.

Always aim directly for an attacker’s face. Always. When you press the button down to shoot the spray, keep it pressed down and really soak his face. Don’t be concerned about blinding him. The effects will wear off after about thirty minutes.

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.

Practice, practice, practice! We all know that it is much easier to accomplish something if we have practiced doing it. The actions just flow naturally without any thought. The same fact holds true for using pepper spray. Practice getting it out, aiming it and spraying it (without actually spraying it). When the time comes for actually needing it you will use it correctly and make your escape.

Just because you bought pepper spray does not make you safer unless you know the best way to use it. Your chances of escaping an attack will increase if you can use it correctly.

Using Pepper Spray effectively can save your life. Find out more about self defense sprays by visiting Jim’s website, www.YourGreatestProtection.com
