Yes, women, trans, non-binary, and men can purchase, wear, and use Defender Ring™. We developed Defender Ring™ as a self-defense product for anyone who thinks it will help in a self-defense situation. Our wide range of ring sizing options allows for anyone to purchase and wear the ring comfortably.

Defender Ring™ requires minimal maintenance. As both a piece of jewelry and a functional self-defense weapon, Defender Ring™ must be intermittently cleaned and cared for to maintain its appearance.

All self-defense products have different advantages and disadvantages.

Defender Ring™ is very different from both a stun gun and pepper spray. While all three self-defense weapons are effective and can deter or disable an attacker, only Defender Ring™ is immediately accessible and can be worn on your finger every day. Stun guns and pepper spray are bulky and must be carried in, and retrieved from your bag in the presence of danger.

We've written a detailed article comparing the pros and cons of Pepper Spray self-defense weapons.

Self-defense classes are a very special art that requires years of practice, patience, dedication, and skill. It's hard to compare Defender Ring™ to taking self-defense classes as they are very different. In some respects, you can look at Defender Ring™ as an effective immediate solution, and self-defense classes as a long term solution. The best option would be to combine the two together, as self-defense classes utilize many finger, hand, fist, and arm motions, that when combined with Defender Ring™ can be extremely effective.
