> 3 dayThis small alarm gives me peace of mind. It is discrete, and very loud. By pressing the button, it omits a very loud sound, that can easily scare people or animals. It also has a strong flashlight. I added it to the key chain with my keys. It’s very light and doesn’t take up too much room at all. I highly recommend for any anyone that may need the extra assurance to feel safe. This would be a great gift for a college kids and friends who need to feel safe. It is also TSA approved, according to the description, so a great item to carry when traveling. Overall, 10/10, everyone should have one.

> 3 dayI like this mini personal alarm better than others because this one the battery can be replaced. It has a bright LED flashlight, and the alarm is extremely loud and will draw attention when used. You can clip it to your purse, bag or belt loop and be prepared.

> 3 dayHaving this Blingsting Mini Personal Safety Alarm on my keychain makes me feel more confident when traveling and walking around in crowds. It is comforting to know that if I ever feel unsafe or threatened that I can easily activate it to hopefully frighten off any attacker and call attention to my situation. Its one of those things you hope you never have to use but are appreciative of its value just knowing it is there.

> 3 dayThe alarm yet, only the flashlight and it could be brighter. I live in a complex and can’t set off alarms but I’ll go to a park and test it out. Once I do this review will be updated.

> 3 dayI have purchased a few personal safety devices over the years for my daughter. She used them during college on campus and on distant co-op assignments. I thought that this device would be good for my wife to carry. It is very loud, thats for sure. The unit itself is quite small and seemingly rugged. It is not waterproof or even very water resistant. I ran it briefly under running tap water and it had seepage inside the battery compartment. It has an LED light that is button activated and stays on as long as you hold the button. It is good enough to see a key slot or inside a purse, but thats about it. It is very weak. The alarm activation is by a button on the bottom of the case. The button is 2cm by 7mm. It seems rather small and narrow. It is activated by a fingertip press and stays active until is is pressed again. However, this alarm could be easily deactivated by a persistent perpetrator who can simply press the button to turn it off. Also, I believe that this button will be difficult to activate if the user is wearing any type of gloves as it will be very hard to feel either the alarm button or the flashlight button. The site advertisement is somewhat misleading in that it has a pink line pointing to a large round element on the front of the alarm. This is not the Panic Button as stated in the ad. This part of the alarm is the speaker where the alarm sounds from. The actual panic activation button is on the bottom (see photo with this review) and is much smaller. While any personal protection device is better than none, I prefer the type that I got my daughter which is a grenade style alarm that goes off when the pin is pulled and cannot be deactivated until the pin is replaced. In an attack, is is easy to pull the pin (often attached by the pin to a keychain connector. Or, to pull the entire device off the keychain, at which point it automatically activates. Both types of devices have a certain risk of accidental activation, but my daughter never experienced that. Good luck!

> 3 dayThis little key chain personal safety alarm is very very loud. I mean loud. As such, it is perfect if you feeling a little nervous when you are out. It will definitely get peoples attention and hopefully help in an emergency - health emergency? safety emergency? This should do the trick, plus it is so small that it does not really add extra bulk to your purse or pocket. I got this for my daughter who is a student. She has class late at night and walks to her car (not my favorite thing as a parent) but hopefully this will get her help if she needs it.

Greater than one weekOur city has changed a lot in the last few years and downtown no longer feels safe and fun. When I have dinners I dont feel comfortable walking back to my car alone. This small alarm gives me just a little peace of mind. It is discrete, and very loud. I keep it on my keys and it doesnt take up space in my purse. I highly recommend for any women who might find themselves in uncomfortable situations.

Greater than one weekI loved this at first since it definitely would scare an intruder away. But when I went to show someone it didnt work out of nowhere. The button looks like it may be broken or hopefully its the weird battery that it came with. Good concept. Just hope its only the battery

> 3 dayThis little keychain fob hold a lot of noise. If you press that button, press it once to turn it on press it again to turn it off. I am hoping to use this on my handicap scooter to scare off animals when they decide to chase me.
