About S-T-O-P
S-T-O-P is made from the same peppers as pepper spray but it's dry, non-pressurized, non-metallic and packaged as food (because it is!).
S-T-O-P has successfully passed through airport security and metal detectors at concerts, sporting events, government buildings and countries that forbid self-defense devices.
It is ideal for those with active lifestyles, university students, travelers and Study Abroad.
It creates a cloud of stinging pepper between you and an attacker.
Carry S-T-O-P to keep you and your loved ones safe everywhere.
Self-defense Device Comparison
The purpose of this section is not to disparage other devices. In fact, some can be paired well with S-T-O-P. For example, use S-T-O-P to halt the attack and the App or Alarm to call for help.
Firearms
The most restricted self-defense device available.
Legal complications if used too early in a confrontation.
Too many stories of carriers accidentally shooting themselves.
Can be bloody, which is hard to get out of your favorite sweater.
​
Pepper Spray
Cannot be taken everywhere. For example, concerts, sporting events, commercial flights, US Federal buildings and monuments, many countries, some university campuses.
It is liquid, pressurized and metallic – 3 attributes that airport security doesn’t allow.
​
Tasers
Cannot be taken everywhere. For example, concerts, sporting events, commercial flights, US Federal buildings and monuments, many countries.
Close proximity to the attacker required.
​
Knives
Cannot be taken everywhere. For example, concerts, sporting events, commercial flights, US Federal buildings and monuments, many countries.
Legal complications if used too early in a confrontation.
Close proximity to the attacker required.
Creates icky blood. Ew!
​
Phone Apps
Most attacks are over in less than 10 seconds. Apps are effective for telling the police where to find your body after the attack.
​
Alarms
Ineffective against those who are extremely agitated, mentally ill, or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Isn't it curious how often people hear a car alarm and ignore it?
Stealth Design
Stealth is a key component in modern national defense, where the question is not size of the device, but its ability to successfully arrive at the target. S-T-O-P implements this strategy for personal self-defense.
By leaving the pepper in its natural state and packaging it as food – with the legally required nutrition facts – S-T-O-P passes security.
There’s only one basic principle of self-defense - you must apply the most effective weapon, as soon as possible, to the most vulnerable target.
