Portable door lock, personal alarm and anti-theft crossbody bag for women travellers
Women's Travel Safety

Door security

A portable door lock or door-stop alarm turns any hotel or rental room into a room only you can open. It weighs almost nothing and is the item travellers thank us for most.

Personal alarms

A 130dB personal alarm on your bag strap is faster than a phone. Test it once before you travel so you know how it sounds.

Bags

An anti-theft crossbody worn in front, with locking zips and RFID-blocking card pockets, handles markets and transit hubs.

Discreet tracking

Share live location with one trusted contact during transfers, and keep a tracker in your day bag.

Accommodation choices

Prefer places with 24-hour reception, well-lit entrances and recent reviews that mention solo female travellers by name.
