I’m sorry Dad, you’re wrong 😭🐻

BUT he’s not alone! This is a super common belief and it makes sense why people would think like that.

If it’s meant to stop a bear, it’ll stop a person, right? Probably, but you probably will be in some serious legal trouble too.

Don’t risk it. There are better options!

The SABRE Safety Pepper Gel (pictured) is my personal favorite. I love that the steady stream of the gel makes me less concerned about blowback. Find it on Amazon and at Walmart, and many other places!

We’re in the ‘ber months 🍁 How this changes your walks + runs:

A police officer we spoke to says that sketchier things happen on the streets at night. He recommends that if women can avoid walking alone in the middle of the night, we should.

Opting for a daylight walk instantly lowers your chances of bumping into sketchy situations.

But…sometimes that’s not possible. So what should we do?

💡 Find well-lit routes like neighborhoods and paths, avoiding dark, remote areas.

🌟 Wear reflectives on your hands and ankles! This helps cars see you much better than a single reflective on your chest. The movement signals a human to be avoided.

💪 Carry accessible, not buried. Bring your pepper spray / pepper gel in a way that is fast to grab or actively hold it in your hand.

Don’t want to hold it? Attach the Cari Pepper Spray Pocket to your bra. When needed, just pull your pepper spray out and you’re ready to defend 🫶 only at cariproject.com!

Where is your pepper spray right now?? 👀

Having your pepper spray with you, even floating in your bag, is WAY better than leaving it at home.

If you get a funny feeling, you can find it and get it in hand. If you own pepper spray, BRING IT.

If keeping it on your keys is too clunky, or throwing it in your bag doesn’t feel like it’s accessible enough, you’d love the Cari Pepper Spray Pocket 💪

Attach it to your existing wire-free bra. When needed, simply reach down and YOINK your pepper spray to be in a ready-to-defend position 💃

Without turning into the guy on What About Bob, there’s only so much you can do to control WHO you cross paths with.

Let’s focus on what we CAN have more control over: our safety plan!

When I’ve asked police officers about women’s safety (as people who see the bad situations), they say:

👀 Look aware. Don’t just be aware, LOOK aware. You want the people around you to notice you noticing them. That means eye contact and confidence even if you don’t feel like it.

⏱️ Choose when you go out if you can. One officer said you can avoid a whole lot of situations by not walking alone at night. Pivot your plan when possible, or go with a buddy and stick in well lit areas.

💪 Bring accessible self defense. Your is literally useless if you can’t reach it in time.

TLDR: it doesn’t work 😭

So many of us have been advised that we could use wasp spray as self defense if we’re in a pinch. The reality is that it just doesn’t work the way on humans that it does on wasps. Because it’s made for wasps!

No need to fear, pepper spray is here! It’s designed for self defense and has been shown to be highly effective. I love SABRE Safety, especially because of how accessible it is! Find them at Walmart, Amazon, and more 💪

Way too many women are harassed on walks and runs (and I'd consider even 1 person being harassed way too many).

What is harassment?
Unwanted or offensive behavior that makes a person feel uncomfortable or unsafe.

Researches and safety organizations catagorize harassment as:

- unwanted sexual attention or comments
- body shaming
- being followed
- a person repeatedly trying to talk
- sexual or gender identity comments
- unwanted physical contact
- race or ethnicity comments
- flashing/exposure

So what should we do?

Verbal? Start with ignoring, distance, and keep going.
The Road Runners Club of America advises that ignoring catcalling is the best way to diminish that behavior.

Mayo Clinic's guidance is to ignore verbal harassment, keep your distance, and keep moving.

While this is a good place to start, this stops being enough when the harassment is persistent, physical, or someone is actively following or closing distance.

Then, be assertive and get to safety.

A firm, direct statement ("Stop. Leave me alone.") is often more effective than silence this point. Avoid an angry/sarcastic response, which can aggravate the aggressor.

Make sure you have quick access to your pepper spray, and get it in-hand if you sense risk. If it turns physical, stay bold, and look for an escape.

Only fight back as a last resort, and to create a way out. Aim pepper spray for the eyes, nose, and mouth. spray in short 1-2 second bursts, being aware of any wind that could cause some blowback.

Immediately after spraying, RUN and get to safety.

If you're a planner like me, knowing ahead of time what I'd do in a situation is comforting. I won't have to wonder, because I have a plan. 💪

If this was helpful to you, save it for later, and follow along for more empowering women's safety tips. 💕

These improvements sparked enhancements that were unexpected in the best ways ✨

Tester and customer feedback has been instrumental in improving the Cari Pepper Spray Pocket, including:

1. Magnet ➡️ Velcro
The change I didn’t want to make but ended up having to because it was simply too good.
2. Creating a thinner elastic band solution
When an easy solution wasn’t there, we had to get crafty (literally!).
3. Going 🥇 soft
This fabric is SO GORGEOUS and SO COMFORTABLE, I can’t wait for you to experience it!
