There’s a lot to be said for self-defence classes but in this day and age, there are easier ways of literally frying an assailant’s ass without so much as a wasting a single bead of sweat. Well, at least in the US, where all manner of nasty gadgets are freely available.

Meet the Lipstick Stun Gun, capable of delivering a claimed 350,000 volts to the crotch of just about anyone you don’t like. The makers say:

“A powerful rechargeable stun gun with safety cord now in the size and shape of an ordinary lipstick. It does not get any better than this. Women’s self defence in the 21st century. You have to see this to realize the advantage you have with this lipstick stun gun in your purse of pocket. Just 3 and 5/8 inches long, 7/8 inch in diameter in glossy black case with pink accent ring. Also has a flashlight that is bright enough to be useful in many ways.”

Just don’t mix it up with your regular lippy. It costs around £25 in the US and it’s illegal in the UK.

Back to sweaty old self-defence classes then.-Martin Lynch
