What sets Dame apart is actually the secret sauce behind every product. Co-founded in 2014 by a sexologist and an MIT-trained engineer. Every toy tested by the 10,000-plus person Dame Labs community and reviewed by a clinical board of OB/GYNs and pelvic floor physical therapists. Every vibrator made from 100% body-safe silicone except the ABS-plastic Zee bullet. All of it backed by a 3-year warranty.

Any one of those is nice. Together, they set Dame apart from the other brands out there, too.

The founders, and why it matters

Dame was started by Alexandra Fine, a sexologist, and Janet Lieberman, an engineer trained at MIT. That pairing is more than another marketing detail. It means product decisions at Dame are shaped by an in-depth understanding of sexual health and the engineering to build for it, rather than by whatever sells fastest. A category that spent decades designing without much input from the people using the products benefits from founders who started from the experience itself.

Dame Labs

Dame Labs is our testing community of more than 10,000 people who give feedback on products during development. Instead of designing a toy on our own and hoping it lands out there, Dame first puts prototypes in front of a large group of real people and iterates on what they report back to us. It's why little details like the fit of the Aer nozzle or the wing shape on Eva are tuned to work across a range of bodies rather than one broad assumption about anatomy.

The clinical board

Beyond user testing, Dame's products are reviewed by a clinical board that includes everyone from OB/GYNs to pelvic floor physical therapists. That's a layer most toy brands skip entirely: a check from clinicians who understand anatomy, sexual health, and conditions like pelvic pain. It's part of why Dame can speak credibly to topics like postpartum recovery and sensitivity rather than staying in product marketing.

Materials

Every Dame vibrator is made from medical-grade, body-safe silicone, with one exception: the Zee bullet, which uses soft-touch ABS plastic. Silicone is non-porous, so it can be cleaned thoroughly and doesn't harbor bacteria the way porous materials can, and it's one of the least reactive materials for sensitive skin. Dame also pairs products with practical extras, like the lidded charging base that comes with Eva and the fabric storage pouches included with Pom, Kip, Zee, and Fin.

The 3-year warranty

It's more meaningful than it sounds. Dame backs its toys with a 3-year warranty, longer than what many competitors offer, and it reflects confidence that a well-made silicone toy should last. For a personal-care product you plan to keep for years, a longer warranty is real value, not a line on the box.

Questions people actually ask

Who founded Dame?

Dame was co-founded in 2014 by sexologist Alexandra Fine and MIT-trained engineer Janet Lieberman.

What's Dame's warranty?

Three years, across the lineup, which is longer than many competitors provide.

Are Dame products body-safe?

Yes. All Dame vibrators use medical-grade, body-safe silicone, except the Zee bullet, which is soft-touch ABS plastic. Silicone is non-porous and easy to clean thoroughly.

What makes Dame different from other sex toy brands?

The combination: research-first founders, a 10,000-plus person Dame Labs testing community, a clinical board of OB/GYNs and pelvic floor physical therapists, body-safe materials, and a 3-year warranty.

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.
