Dame

Engineering intimacy, closing the pleasure gap, one body-safe vibrator at a time

Dame Products disrupted the sexual wellness industry when sexologist Alexandra Fine and MIT engineer Janet Lieberman launched their crowdfunding campaign in 2014. Their debut product, Eva, became the most-funded sex toy in crowdfunding history, raising $575,000 and establishing Dame’s mission: closing the “pleasure gap”—the documented disparity in sexual satisfaction between people with vulvas and their partners.

What distinguishes Dame is their rigorous, user-centered design process. Every product development cycle begins with Dame Labs, a 10,000+ member community who test prototypes and provide feedback before products reach market. Combined with input from their Clinical Board of certified sex therapists and physicians, this iterative approach produces vibrators engineered for real bodies rather than theoretical ones.

Dame’s flagship Eva II remains their bestseller—the hands-free couples vibrator with flexible wings that tuck under the labia, providing clitoral stimulation during penetrative sex without obstructing intimacy. The Arc features a curved design and weighted handle specifically engineered for G-spot exploration, while the flexible Pom nestles in your palm for versatile external stimulation. Their suction toy Aer delivers contactless pressure waves, and finger vibrator Fin slips between two fingers to add stimulation wherever you touch.

Beyond vibrators, Dame champions comprehensive sexual wellness. Their Pillo transforms ordinary pillows into positioning aids for comfortable intimacy. Alu lubricant uses organic aloe and derives its silky texture from natural starches rather than glycerin. Even their condoms and arousal serums reflect the same ingredient-conscious philosophy.

Dame’s advocacy work matches their product innovation. In 2019, they sued New York’s MTA for refusing their subway advertisements while accepting erectile dysfunction medication ads—a landmark case highlighting double standards in sexual wellness advertising. Their success brought intimate products into mainstream retail including Sephora, Nordstrom, and Bloomingdale’s.

Every Dame product uses medical-grade silicone and arrives with thoughtful user guides that normalize exploration. Their 60-day return policy for store credit remains unique in the industry, eliminating risk from experimentation. For couples exploring together, Dame’s designs facilitate conversation—their products don’t just deliver physical sensation; they create opportunities for partners to communicate desires and discover shared pleasure.

With 10+ million lives touched since founding, Dame proves that sexual wellness products designed by people who understand pleasure anatomy work better than products designed by people who don’t.
