Flare is a woman-founded brand from Sara de Zarraga and Quinn Fitzgerald. The two met at Harvard Business School and are very open about Flare having been inspired by their surviving sexual assault. In emergency situations, the innovative cuff can send a text (like the one above), receive a fake call, and even send your GPS location to 911. Depending on how often it's used, the bracelet's battery can last up to two years.

Promising review: "I am so impressed!! The phone call options are so natural and believable, and the ability to customize the name of both the Flare 'caller' and 'texter' is ingenious. I did a couple test calls and texts, and they worked perfectly. Thanks again for all the time, effort, and thought that obviously went into the creation of this beautiful safety piece. I am so impressed!!" —Alexandra
