Category Standard

Dame Products is a verified, high-revenue sexual wellness brand with over $15M in funding and widespread retail presence (Sephora, Bloomingdales). The project demonstrates exceptional Real-World Utility and Engineering Innovation. However, the submission quality was extremely poor (e.g., claiming 'most people have used my product' and 'marketcap: null'), which severely penalized the Response Quality and Traction evidence scores despite the company's actual success.

Description
Dame Products was founded by smart women with the purpose of making phenomenal sex toys. Our continuing mission: to heighten intimacy, to design well-engineered products, and to openly empower the sexual experiences of womankind.\n\nOur first product, Eva, is a hands-free couples’ vibrator which is held in place by the labia. Pleasure inequality is one of the biggest gender disparities; women are four times more likely to say that recent sex was unpleasurable. Couples’ vibrators, designed to make intercourse more pleasurable for both partners, are top sellers, but other offerings are often disruptive. Eva provides clitoral stimulation without hindering penetration or distracting from intimacy.\n\nWe are trying to make the world a happier place, one vagina at a time.\n\nAbove video is from our record-breaking October 2014 crowdfunding campaign: www.dameproducts.com/indiegogo
