Personal alarms are small enough for you to carry around with you. These alarms emit a very loud sound when activated which brings attention to you.
The last thing a mugger wants is everyone coming to see what the heck that loud sound is. It could be enough to scare them away or at least change their plans.
A carry alarm or a personal alarm gives you the advantage of surprising your attacker and hopefully gaining much needed attention. Some models even have flashing lights that give a visual distress signal to those around you. It is hard to ignore an ear piercing sound along with a blinding flashing light. Someone will come to investigate the noise and provide assistance.
