Lipstick Personal Alarm – 90dB, Discreet Pull-Up Design

Most personal alarms look exactly like what they are. The moment you clip one to your bag or wrap it around your wrist, anyone paying attention knows what it is — and what it signals about how you’re moving through the world. The Lipstick Personal Alarm sits in your purse next to your actual cosmetics and draws no attention at all. Pull the top straight up, and 90 decibels cuts through the ambient noise around you immediately.

Who This Personal Alarm Is For

This alarm was designed with specific carry situations in mind: women working late shifts who walk to their cars alone, college students navigating campus at night, frequent travelers moving through unfamiliar environments, and anyone who spends regular time in parking garages, transit stations, or poorly lit areas. It suits joggers and dog walkers who want something lightweight and unobtrusive. If you already carry a purse or bag, the lipstick form factor costs you nothing in terms of space or weight — it just disappears into what you’re already carrying.

Care and What’s Included

What’s in the Box

• Lipstick Personal Alarm (black or pink)
• Three 1.5V LR44/AG13 button cell batteries (installed)

Care and Testing

No maintenance is required beyond battery replacement. Test the alarm briefly once a month by pulling the activation pin for a second, then pushing it back down to silence it. When the sound becomes noticeably quieter, replace the three LR44/AG13 button cells — widely available at grocery, pharmacy, and electronics stores. The unit is lightweight plastic construction; avoid submerging it or leaving it in direct heat for extended periods.

Lipstick Personal Alarm: Frequently Asked Questions

How loud is the Lipstick Personal Alarm?

It produces a 90dB siren — enough to carry clearly through typical urban ambient noise. The tone is sharp and unmistakably alarm-like, which is what draws attention quickly. In very loud outdoor environments, such as near highway traffic or active construction, the range of audibility will be shorter than in quieter settings.

How do you activate and deactivate the Lipstick Personal Alarm?

Pull the top section straight up with one hand. The alarm activates immediately. To silence it, push the top back down. There are no buttons to locate, no pins to remove separately, and no secondary steps. The motion is simple enough to execute under stress, which is the point.

How long do the batteries last?

The three LR44/AG13 button cell batteries that come installed will last through regular monthly testing for a reasonable period of carry. The practical signal that replacement is needed is a noticeable drop in siren volume. Replacement batteries are inexpensive and available at most general retailers.

Is the Lipstick Personal Alarm legal to carry?

Personal alarms that produce sound are legal to own and carry throughout the United States — there are no federal restrictions, and no state bans noise-making safety devices of this type. It is not a weapon and does not require a permit. That said, specific venues such as secure government buildings or aircraft may have their own rules about what you can bring inside.

Add This to Your Everyday Carry
