We’re happy to introduce Kip, a small, powerful vibrator that puts pleasure-enhancing features into a familiar, user-friendly package. Kip has an ergonomic, easily-graspable silicone body and an angled end that flutters at the tip. Despite its size, Kip’s motor is no joke, delivering a deep rumble in its clit-enveloping cup. It’s small, quiet, and waterproof, making it perfect for adventures in the bedroom, bathtub, and across the globe. And it’s USB rechargeable and easy to clean, so you can spend your playtime playing.

In working with our Dame Labs community to understand what people want from their pleasure tools, we saw that simplicity and familiarity are important. Small, point-and-buzz concepts like bullets and lipstick vibes stood out as crowd favorites, and offered a confusion-free experience. Straight-shaped vibrators also presented an easy to understand form factor compared to the many exotic curves and protrusions available on the market. So we set to work on a Dame-quality lipstick vibe that would bring stimulating new life to a tried-and-true type of toy.

We stumbled onto the benefits of a triangular shape while researching ergonomic pencil grips. We think our silicone is the best in the biz, and we were excited to apply it to a body that would fit in your hand like a dream, for a pleasingly-grippable experience. We were also intrigued by two of the features that were tester favorites: a flutter tip and a clitoral cup. A pinpoint nib allowed prototype testers to enjoy Kip’s vibration exactly where they wanted it, while the gentle concavity of its cupped face could provide an all-over vulval rumble.


With the help of over 1400 survey responders, 131 focus group participants, and almost 100 prototype testers aged 19-74, we added exciting new features and lots of power to a concept that needed a human-first design update. Whether you’re buying your first vibrator ever, or your first one in 30 years, Kip will feel like an old friend in your hands, and a new lover anywhere you want.

FAQs

A: A vibrator is a powerful and versatile personal pleasure device that creates vibrations to stimulate various sensitive areas of your body, like the clitoris and G-spot. They come in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and features, so there's something for everyone.

Vibrators can be used on almost any erogenous zone, offering unique sensations that can boost your pleasure and help you discover what feels amazing. Some are designed to mimic penetration, while others focus on external stimulation to give you an unforgettable experience.

Did you know that fewer than 20% of vulva-owner can climax solely with vaginal stimulation or intercourse? This is why vibrators have been growing in popularity, and why companies like Dame are dedicated to amplifying the conversation of closing the pleasure gap.

A: Using a vibrator can enhance your pleasure significantly, but where you use them differs based on preference and if you are a vulva or penis owner. Begin by selecting a comfortable and private space where you feel at ease. If desired, use sex toy-safe lubrication, as this will enhance sensations and reduce friction. Turn on your vibrator (usually a button on the opposite end of the "head"), and explore different settings or intensities using the buttons provided on the device and gradually finding what feels best for you.
