» PARTY HARDER; DRINK SAFER
The last thing you want to do when you’re out chilling with your friends is watch your drink 24/7 to ensure no one tampers with it, and drink spiking is more common than you might think. Every year thousands of victims report spiking related crime, and even more don’t through a mix of embarrassment and uncertainty.
Drink spiking is mean spirited, cowardly and hugely damaging. Victims are left physically violated, confused and with mental scars that may take years to fade. That’s not a good night out in anyone’s book.
Safeflo will watch your drink for you. Just pop a cap over the neck of an opened bottle and youq’ve got yourself instant protection and peace of mind. The cap wonq’t come off and you can drink as normal either straight from the bottle or using a straw.
All that’s left to do is focus 100% on having fun, big time.
» Safeflo: Looking Out for You
Safeflo has been tested and recommended by Police forces across the UK after thorough testing and is currently endorsed by CrimeStoppers.
Safeflo has been researched, designed and brought to market by the company’s directors who have been working with scientists, major drinks brands and bar chains, safety organisations, law enforcement and crime prevention bodies across the country to come up with a product that is affordable, accessible, neat, fast and easy to use and, most of all, safe.
“The best way to support a victim of drink spiking is to stop them becoming a victim in the first place. This product is about personal protection. It locks your drink away from spikers and gives drinkers the freedom of a carefree night out.”
You may think the product is aimed exclusively at young women, but this isn’t the case. While women make up the majority of cases, where the motive has been sexual, spiking crime is also on the rise where men are the victims, regaining their senses to find cash and credit cards stolen.
“You put your seat belt on when you get in the car, you put a crash helmet on when you ride a motorbike and you ensure your money is kept close to you and out of sight. Basic safety precautions we take every day without giving them a second thought. Safeflo protection has to become a ‘good habit’ in the same way. It puts you back in the driving seat.”

Statistics about spiking UK and worldwide.
Well, the statistics speak for themselves. The Australian Institute of Criminology’s National Project on Drink Spiking estimated that in the year to June 2003, between 3000 and 4000 drink-spiking incidents occurred. In the month of March 2006 a Sydney hospital reported a 53% rise of drink spiking incidents from the same time in 2005.
Although the drug is most commonly used by men against women, one-in-5 victims of drug-assisted sexual assault is male.
