Campus Safety Essentials for College Women
The Single Ladies Campus Safety Kit is the all-in-one self defense package for the woman heading off to college or living solo. It delivers apartment/dorm room security, personal protection, and campus safety tools in one convenient set — and you save money versus buying each item individually.
The Super Door Stop Alarm is ideal for dorm rooms, apartments, or hotel stays when you want an extra layer of security. It features a sensitive movement trigger and a loud 120 dB alarm that sounds if someone attempts to open the door. Its portable design makes it easy to toss in a suitcase or keep by your bedside; be sure to test it before travel so you know it’s working.
The Pepper Pen offers discreet, on‑the‑go protection while looking like an everyday pen. It holds a 1/2 ounce of self‑defense spray with a 6–8 foot range, delivering 6–10 one‑second bursts of 10% OC (approx. 2 million SHU) and includes a UV identifying dye to assist law enforcement if needed.
The Kubotan Key Chain is widely endorsed by campus security departments for its simple, effective design. This impact tool allows focused strikes to create pain and opportunity to escape. Learn the kubotan strike points so you can use it efficiently in an emergency.
We recommend every student carry a pack of Date Rape Drug Detector Test Strips. Drink tampering incidents continue to be an issue in social settings, and these strips (20 tests per pack) let you quickly check a drink by adding a drop of liquid to the strip. Fast, simple, and potentially life‑saving.
Together these items create a layered safety plan: physical deterrents for doors and personal attacks, a discreet spray option, a simple impact tool, and a test for drink tampering. For comprehensive campus safety, also use smartphone safety features (emergency SOS and location sharing), download trusted safety apps, and take advantage of campus escort and reporting services when available.
Important reminders: follow your campus policies and local laws regarding possession and use of self‑defense items; check pepper spray expiration dates and replace per manufacturer guidance; test your door alarm regularly and keep batteries fresh; and practice basic techniques or take a short self‑defense class to build confidence and effective response skills.
