While these self-defense products may look frou frou with their feminine colours and design, they pack some serious punch that is sure to catch any attacker by surprise.

Empower yourself or your loved ones with one or more of these inexpensive and effective girlie self-defense products and show 'em what girlie really means:

1. Emergency Personal Alarm Keychain

Though this adorable keychain might be giggle worthy, you'll be getting the last laugh. This self-defense keychain houses a not-so-cute alarm that blasts attackers with sound. Disorienting an attacker for a second or two can be the difference between life and death.

2. Safety Cat Women's Self-Defense Keychain

Who doesn't love kitties? Your attacker sure won't once you confront them with the razor sharp ends of this guard cat's ears. For US$5, this catty self-defense keychain could be yours.

3. Electra Concealed Lipstick Stun Gun

This pink lipstick is absolutely stunning. No, literally, this "lipstick" by Guard Dog Security is a concealed stun gun. Beauty really is pain!

4. Dooney & Bourke Pepper Spray Keychain

Defend yourself in style. For roughly US$6, this Dooney & Bourke case holds something you wouldn't suspect - mace! Have your assailant running away in tears with a spray or five of this designer pepper spray.

5. Pink Monkey Fist Paracord Self-Defense Keychain

They won't even know what hit 'em, but you will: a monkey fist. You read that correctly. While it may not look like much, this monkey fist keychain made with paracord has the ability to crack open a skull.

6. Self-Defense Ring

This gorgeous ring offers far more than a fashion statement, it can save your life. These resin rings by anjaguggenheim on Etsy are a beautiful and convenient way to amp up your safety.

7. TAC Grappling Kick Control Device

Kick them until they're down with these TAC grappling kick control devices for your shoes. Simply place them under your shoelaces before you go out to add a little safety to your workout routine or daily errands.

8. FURY Tactical Self-Defense Keychain

Just looking at this makes my jugular hurt. Put this ornate self-defense keychain with a pressure tip on your keychain and anyone who's thinking about attacking will most likely change their mind.

Though these products are a strong deterrent for potential attackers, it's always a good idea to arm yourself with knowledge. Take a self-defense class and/or watch a video or two like Stilettos and Self Defense by Jennifer Cassetta:
