About Dame

Dame Products‘s selection of sexual wellness products ranges from their collection of powerful, versatile, and stylish vibrators that flex to your needs, to water-based lubricant made from organic aloe vera, to soft-yet-firm foam wedges that offer support you across a variety of sex positions.

Why We Love Them

The name of DAME’s game? Keep things ultra high-vibe. Dame Products offers scientifically engineered tools designed to change a common sexual experience that’s all-too-relatable to many cis-women, but often not openly discussed. Meet the Pleasure Gap.According to a study cited by the brand, cis-women are four times more likely to say that sex wasn’t pleasurable in the past year than cis-men. So, to promote greater equality amongst the sexes when it comes to sex, DAME offers a range of toys designed to deliver pleasure-gap-free, sexual satisfaction — whether you’re riding solo and exploring self-love, or have a partner to join in the fun.* “cis” means the person’s gender identity matches the sex they were assigned at birth. It’s the opposite of “trans.” – Dame Products website

Origin Story

The DAME dynamic duo includes Alexandra Fine, CEO and sexologist, and Janet Liberman, CPO and engineer. Together, Fine and Liberman teamed up in 2014 to launch what soon became the most crowdfunded sex toy in history: the Eva hands-free vibrator. Predating their official launch, Fine’s lifelong fascination with sexual wellness grew as she pursued a career as a sex therapist and a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology with a concentration in Sex Therapy from Columbia University.While receiving her certifications, Fine got crafty in her kitchen, creating vibrator prototypes with silver-dollar coins and plastic wrap. Meanwhile, Liberman, who received her degree in Mechanical Engineering from MIT was contemplating launching a sex-toy company. When she realized that vibrators weren’t manufactured to meet high-quality standards nor designed with deep consideration for the needs of their customers, she decided to put her skills to use and change the pleasure marketplace forever. To date, Dame Products has delivered 10 million orgasms…and counting.

The Science & The Soul

The Science

Honoring their goal of closing the Pleasure Gap with top-shelf engineered products that are made for everyone, DAME formed Dame Labs, a people-centered research group that ensures all products are crafted based on diverse input, feedback, and personal experiences. Their premium is placed on quality, meaning all products are manufactured with medical-grade materials that promote safety because – say it with us – Safety. Is. Sexy!

Scientifically speaking, being aware of what we put in and on our bodies is important, and, as the DAME team says, for a material to be safe for repeated intimate use, it needs to be non-porous and inert, meaning both chemically and biologically non-reactive. All of DAME‘s products are held to the highest safety standards, promoting customer confidence, decreasing stress when purchasing, and increasing pleasure during use.

The Soul

Dame empowers women to use innovative, well-engineered sex toys and sexual wellness products to collectively upgrade their sexual experiences, increase intimacy, and explore their sexuality without boundaries. Calling on their Dame Labs community, the brand explores the physical, emotional and mental repercussions of the Pleasure Gap imbalance, while learning how they can design better tools (ranging from products, to educational resources, to events) to close the gap for good.

Beyond the bedroom, Dame's website offers a rich digital resource for stories about sexual wellness and human intimacy called Swell. Read up on pelvic floor exercises, learn how to slow down your sex, or venture into a workshop centered around soothing self-massage or love yoga. No matter where your sexual journey takes you, Dame is there to support you from the start of your personal education and through each satisfying experience.
