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.
