A personal alarm is compact, ranging in size from equivalent to a child’s thumb to a cell phone, so it is easy to carry and very easy to fit in your hand if you were to need to use one. The specially designed varieties of shape and size that are available enable you to carry them on your key chain as a key-chain alarm, in your pocket, clipped onto your belt or even hung around your neck.
