Crowded subways and cities can lead to some uncomfortable and unwanted body contact. This little device may be the answer for many female mobile executives. It's a small, very cute-looking Pink Seal Taser from Taser (TASR Quote).

To operate the Taser, you depress on a button located near the tail, once depressed, the tail snaps down, revealing two contact points which then emit the taser charge.

The juice on this won't bring down a normal-sized male. But the surprise and sting on this thing could provide just enough time to get out of a situation or alert a subway police.

It takes an Lr1 battery.
