The most common misconception is that a personal alarm is used to attract the attention of passersby. Unfortunately, you cannot rely on a personal alarm to do that for you. The purpose of a personal alarm is to shock and disorientate an attacker, giving you vital seconds to get away. The best way to ensure your personal safety is to plan ahead. Your alarm is no use to you in a bag; have your alarm in your hand when you feel vulnerable or threatened. Then, if your exit is blocked or you feel attack is imminent, hold the alarm close to the attackers head (if you can).
