Descriptiontext

Dame Products, Inc. is a New York City-based sexual wellness company founded in 2014 by sexologist Alexandra Fine and MIT engineer Janet Lieberman. It designs and sells a portfolio of medical-grade silicone vibrators, sexual health products, and intimate essentials marketed primarily to women and couples, with the stated goal of addressing the 'Pleasure Gap' in sexual satisfaction. The core vibrator line spans ten distinct form factors — including the patented Eva hands-free couples vibrator, Pom flexible palm vibrator, Arc G-spot vibrator, Dip entry-level vibrator, Min mini wand, Fin finger vibrator, Zee bullet, Aer suction vibrator, Lay panty vibrator, and Hug vibrating cock ring — all built on rechargeable (USB-C or inductive) motor platforms with multiple intensity levels, waterproof bodies, and a 3-year warranty. Beyond hardware, the company has expanded into sexual-health adjacencies including clinically-tested Desire Gummies libido supplements, home STI test kits processed through 10 partner labs, ultra-thin condoms, and a personal-care line (pH-balanced aloe lube, massage oil, body wipes, arousal serum, toy cleaner), plus home goods and accessories.

The business runs a product-led, multi-channel GTM: direct-to-consumer e-commerce on dame.com with a 15% first-order discount quiz and subscription pricing (25% off) on consumables; wholesale and marketplace distribution through Amazon; and shelf placement at three of the largest US mass-market retailers — Target, Walmart, and CVS — the explicit use-of-funds for its $7M Series A led by Amboy Street Ventures in September 2022. Product development is anchored in the Dame Labs community of 10,000+ testers and a Medical & Health Advisory Board (OB/GYN, ND, sex therapist, pelvic floor PT), supporting 'doctor-approved' and clinical-study claims. Marketing is built around owned content (Swell blog, 'A Fine Human' podcast hosted by the CEO) and earned media, including a 2019 lawsuit against NYC's subway system for advertising discrimination that drove national press. The company ships to six countries (US, Canada, UK, EU, Australia, NZ), relies on China-based manufacturing (evidenced by a 2025 tariff surcharge episode where it paid roughly $100,000 in customs duties before refunding customers after the Supreme Court struck down the tariffs in March 2026), and operates with 11–50 employees under CEO Alexandra Fine.

Companies including Shein, Temu, Dame Products, and Mondo have implemented explicit "tariff surcharges" or "import charges," with Temu adding charges that have doubled some item prices and blocking US customers from seeing China-sourced products. Experts suggest the transparency strategy helps preserve customer trust, with a recent Economist/YouGov survey finding 61% of US adults want businesses to display how much of their purchase goes toward tariff payments.
