The 'TigerLady' Claw is a self-defense device that's intended to help enhance the capabilities of women if they become involved in an attack.

When not in use, the 'TigerLady' Claw can be kept discreetly in a [purse or pocket](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/claw-purse) with the claws retracting to prevent unintentional harm. The 'TigerLady' Claw helps to enhance the hits that the user inflicts onto their attacker to prevent them from harming them.

Although the 'TigerLady' Claw self-defense device is intended to provide real-time protection, it also works to help catch the assailant. The claws feature divots on the underside to trap DNA, which can then be relayed to police to help apprehend the attacker.

As the name denotes, the 'TigerLady' Claw is inspired by the defense mechanisms of felines.
