A protective device and a method of transmitting an alert from the device, in which the protective device is handheld and includes a flexible sheath disposed between an upper member and a lower member. When the device is compressed, elongated defensive components protrude through openings in the upper member. In some cases, the upper member also includes protruding portions extending upward from the upper member and/or an arm portion extending outward to a side of the device. A signal alert may be automatically transmitted upon device compression.

A weaponized water bottle for self-defense. The self-defense water bottle is a removable or permanent sleeve that comprises a weaponized surface such as studs or spikes and that affixes to the bottom of a liquid-holding bottle portion. The bottle portion comprises a double-walled vacuum sealed bottle with a tapered neck with threads that a bottle cap screws on top of. The bottle cap comprises a depressible thumb-button and two outer tabs each with a cavity on the inner side of the tab that secures a bottle handle. The bottle cap top-portion also comprises a concave surface such that when attached to the bottle handle the combined bottle handle and cap occupy less space. The bottle handle comprises a brass-knuckles design with two protrusions on the outer edge that fit into the bottle cap and keep the bottle handle in place until the thumb-button is depressed releasing the bottle handle.
