Exclusive to M&S

A unique and revolutionary personal safety alarm for women. If you're attacked the adrenalin in your body can cause you to lose your voice. This small alarm emits an extremely loud female scream designed to shock and disorientate your attacker, giving you a chance to flee.

This stylish alarm is designed as a discreet accessory that can be kept close at hand - attached to a key ring or clipped to your handbag. To activate, simply pull sharply on the chain

Available for: Home Delivery or Collection In-Store. (participating UK stores)

A revolution! November 4, 2009

Reviewed by: Mardi (London) See All My Reviews

I felt compelled to respond to some of the comments below. I was given an ila dusk at Christmas last year and have definitely felt safer when out and about after dark. The alarm instructions state it will continue to scream for up to 10 minutes if you don’t put the pin back into the alarm. You can use the alarm more than once, you’d only need to pull it for a minute or two to get the desired effect (hopefully) and you could insert the pin back into the alarm and still be able to use it again if need be. Hopefully this product is there to give us extra peace of mind and would not be used regularly… I think it’s great and anything that is designed to help women feel safer gets my thumbs up!

Not worth it November 1, 2009

Reviewed by: AVH (London, England) See All My Reviews

It only works once for 10 mins. I agree with the previous review, Its a fantastic concept, it looks great but you can only use it once for 10 mins. its not clear on the packaging that that is the case either. Would be great if it had a flashing light too.

Description needs to be clearer October 29, 2009

Reviewed by: Albion (Hampshire, England) See All My Reviews

This item appears to be a great idea and is really stylish. However the fact you can only use it once is a complete rip off. The description needs to be made clearer. I bought two of these for my daughters, but the fact it only lasts 10 minutes for the price is not good enough and I returned them. It is a shame because the concept is brilliant.
