Sex Toy Review: Dame Arc
The intricate design hits the g-spot precisely, the Dame Arc's vibrations are well-focused, and the toy feels opulent overall. Although I adore the Dame Arc design in and of itself, I occasionally get annoyed by the button location.
Introducing the Dame Arc, the newest range of products from Dame! With its notably deep curvature, this rechargeable sex toy with an insertable vibrator is ideal for hitting your G-spot. This waterproof vibrator goes above and beyond with five vibration intensities, five distinct patterns, a travel lock, and a three-year warranty.
In actuality, the Dame Arc is Dame's first foray into insertable toys. Before this, Dame released the clitoral vibrators Dame Pillo (a beautiful placement assistance), Dame Eva (a hands-free intercourse vibrator), and the Kip, Fin, and Pom.
The Dame Arc is an inexpensive toy when compared to other G-spot toys. At that price range, it is joined by similar-looking g-spot vibrators such as the LELO Gigi 2, the Kama Sutra Dandiya, the asymmetrical We-Vibe Rave, and the bullet-vibrator-powered We-Vibe Pleasure Mate Collection.
How Did You Use It?
This toy was meant for g-spot enjoyment, which is the Dame Arc's intended purpose. As someone with a deeper g-spot who needs more extreme curves from my vibrators, the Dame Arc seemed like a perfect fit because it had a comparable curvature to my favorite g-spot toy.
And it was. Its severe shape easily fits into the body and zonates into the G-spot. This g-spot vibrator's "hooked" construction secured it in place almost immediately, and it remained there flawlessly. The Dame Arc's physical design is outstanding; it surpassed my expectations in every way.
With practically all vibrators, button placement is a frequent source of complaints. Who wants to "hunt down" the button to press to receive a greater feeling? Even worse, some toy designs have buttons that, when placed, vanish into the butt or vagina.
The buttons were positioned precisely where my thumb rests on the g-spot vibrator's base, demonstrating that the Dame Arc was aware of this problem.
This is incredibly convenient, but it's also highly annoying. Since the Dame Arc's design allows for a rocking motion on the g-spot, I must exert downward pressure on the vibrator's handle while it is inside me.
I use a combination of pressure to do this. I applied some downward pressure with my thumb on the vibrator's top and some supportive pressure from the vibrator's base. Despite being essential for the required rocking motion, my thumb now strikes the power/pattern button EXACTLY.
While attempting to enjoy the vibrator, that button—the one that controls the patterns—becomes a constant source of hits. This is in contrast to the button intended to be easy to push for effortless control of the Dame Arc. Fortunately, the increasing and decreasing intensity buttons avoid my risky thumb-pressing habits.
Positively, the Dame Arc doesn't shut off by itself unless you hold down the pattern button. It will therefore never shut off independently, even though you will deal with a continuous whirlpool of various vibration patterns. That's a bonus, then. A vibrator that seeks to maintain the sensation "fresh" for you is analogous to this.
Following that encounter, I gave my lover the Dame Arc to use on me. (Hey, it's okay for a girl to be lazy sometimes .)The button problem was considerably more apparent from this new perspective.
My boyfriend had to apply downward pressure to the top of the vibrator's handle, which is precisely where that annoying button is, to have the vibrator rock upwards against the G-spot because he was between my legs rather than at the angle my arms create. I had hoped it was a one-off incident, but my spouse experienced the same problem more frequently.
Positively, the Dame Arc's built-in g-spot-honing design worked flawlessly for someone else, and without my intervention, the vibrator's tip ended up in the ideal g-spot area.
The fact that the Dame Arc has vibrations is only a bonus because my body doesn't need them for G-spot pleasure. My favorite g-spot toy usually resembles the 8" Glass Ribbed G-Spot.
This button problem is unexpected, mostly because I'm shocked that no one noticed it during testing; perhaps it's the length of my thumb? I don't mind if my g-spot is deeper than other people's, which could indicate that I'm gripping a portion of the handle that wasn't meant to be grasped. I prefer to act like it's a Dame Arc high-end event.
After all, many vibrator manufacturers are developing pseudo-AI systems enabling the AI mode to sporadically alter the vibrations and patterns for you, providing an unpredictable sensation. Because of the button problem, the Dame Arc already has that built in.
How Else Could It Be Used?
I think that if you are not a plus-sized person with a deep g-spot, your experience can be very different. Holding the vibrator up the shaft and away from the buttons that are giving me trouble would feel much more natural because it is much less probable that the vibrator would need to slide as deeply into you.
The Dame Arc vibrator's tip is sufficiently targeted to serve as a clitoral vibrator in addition to its g-spot application. The vibrator should never be used anally because it lacks a flared base.
The Dame Arc can also be used as a non-vibrating G-spot dildo if you use the travel lock that comes with the vibrator to stop the vibrations from ever starting. Regardless of the vibrations, the size and design are fantastic for G-spot enjoyment. Amy from Coffee & Kink said, "This toy's form is amazing! The bulbed head is solid but not overly rigid, and it curves perfectly to achieve that mouthwatering come-hither motion against my G-spot."
Product Details
Let's discuss vibrations before getting into the specifics. The Dame Arc doesn't have powerful vibrations. This will be alright for many individuals. Most people find pressure and continuous movement work better for the G-spot than vibrations. Others who enjoy intense sensations on their G-spot may find this disappointing.
Even under the most favorable conditions, the Dame Arc's vibrations are insufficient to produce a clitoral orgasm. The Dame Arc isn't giving you the above-average vibrations you need, but I could easily grind against it and get an orgasm that way (I love that complex construction!). However, the Dame Arc might be your new best buddy if you find that most vibrators are annoyingly too powerful for your delicate self, and not everyone is attempting to fit a Magic Wand into a g-spot vibrator.
The softer sound is a benefit of the milder vibrations. The Dame Arc is especially silent; while within the body, it makes a soft humming noise. It sounds slightly like sensuous white noise and is not loud or distracting.
Using the Dame Arc clitorally produces more noise, but using it on the G-spot makes it even more challenging to hear in the same room.
The Dame Arc has an opulent silicone covering. It isn't easy to fully describe a silicone material like this until you've felt it. You will be able to run your fingers across its smooth surface.
Before the silicone toy is used, prospective partners will undoubtedly spend a few minutes "petting" it when they first see it. I adore the choice of this lovely-feeling material for the Dame Arc.
The silicone layer appears to be covering an internal plastic body. This interior plastic is effective. Because of this, the Dame Arc vibrates quite rigidly, which is ideal for the steady pressure required for g-spot feeling.
Additionally, it indicates that this g-spot vibe's 1.4" diameter feels precisely like a 1.4" diameter. As someone who detests vaginal stretching, this seemed like a fairly comfortable size and comparable to what I would anticipate from a biological penis.
Since the head is the broadest portion, if it feels tight when inserted, let your body gradually get used to the thickest point.
The Dame Arc is 7.5" in length and 1.4" in breadth to give you the intricate and quick details.
How It Works
Three buttons are close to the handle's base on the Dame Arc. The vibrator is simple to operate thanks to these buttons, which are well-suited to their functions. Every button has a gratifying "click" when pressed, although depending on where the buttons are located, this easy-press feature can be a little annoying (see above).
The power and pattern button is nearest to the vibrator's base. To activate or deactivate the vibrator, hold down the button. This button can be pressed once to toggle through all five patterns when the Dame Arc is on.
You may adjust the vibration strength by pressing the two buttons above the power button. The base and steady vibration settings may be adjusted in intensity, but the Dame Arc also lets you adjust the intensity of each patterned option.
Materials and Care
The Dame Arc is a premium toy manufactured by a high-end firm that is made of silicone. I don't mind that it feels like a silicone coating on a plastic interior! You get the best of both worlds—a silicone toy with the strongest vibrations possible—because the plastic transfers vibrations more effectively. This implies that the Dame Arc is composed of a relatively stiff, non-plushy, but silky silicone, as you might expect.
I strongly advise lubricating any insertable silicone item. There is some uncomfortable drag without lube, but why deal with that when there is such an easy fix? Water-based lubricants are the best to use when applying lubrication. Other lubricant bases could damage your Dame Arc's material.
Its waterproof design and use of medical-grade silicone are advantages. In general, even if this is your first sex toy, the Dame Arc is quite simple to clean. The Dame Arc is easy to clean with warm water and mild soap. Since it has no hard-to-reach places or crevices, you can just put this g-spot toy under running water, add some mild soap, scrub-a-dub-dub, and you're done! It's easy to clean.
After washing it, ensure the toy is completely dry before attaching the vibrating G-spot to the charger. The Dame Arc features two magnetic contact points on the back of the toy, making charging it easy. Putting the magnetic charger on incorrectly is difficult because it only charges in one direction, which is a blessing. Although it isn't sturdy enough to support the Dame Arc's weight, the charger is easy to attach and keeps the toy from rolling or sliding around and losing its connection.
Do you have any problems? Within 30 days of product receipt, Kinkly Shop will assist you in handling defective off-the-lot items. After that, the Dame Arc comes with a 3-year warranty that covers any material or artistry flaws beginning on the date of purchase. (Retain your receipt.) What a great manufacturer's warranty—three years!
The Packaging
Naturally, the Dame Arc is discreetly packaged from Kinkly Shop in a durable cardboard box. On the exterior packaging, kink or anything else is never mentioned. I thought my Kinkly Shop package was a box of macaroni, which I had been anticipating.
The actual Dame Arc packing is comprehensive and valuable. Inside a thin slipcover sleeve, it's a much more robust, barely-marked cardboard box. The Dame Arc is shown in a plastic display tray when the lid of this cardboard box is lifted off. Everything else that comes with the Dame Arc is located underneath this tray, along with the vibrator.
What other features does this silicone vibrator have? That would be:
- The charging cable is magnetic.
- A brown bag with a drawstring.
- A basic instruction handbook that folds out.
- A sticker featuring the "O-face" smiley that is Dame's emblem.
The Verdict: 4/5
The button placement occasionally drives me crazy, even if I adore the Dame Arc design. You'll most likely love the Dame Arc if you're utilizing it for extra enjoyment and don't need the silicone vibrator to maintain a steady vibrating tempo.
The rugged construction precisely hits the G-spot, the vibrations are well-focused, and the toy feels opulent overall. The button problem will be a minor annoyance as long as you aren't committed to always experiencing the same sensation and vibrations to reach orgasm.
Other Options
Do you want more powerful vibrations at the exact cost? Greetings from the We-Vibe Rave. It's a popular vibe with powerful enough vibrations to function as a clitoral vibe. The We-Vibe is a fantastic option if vibrations are vital, even though its curve isn't as sharp as the Dame Arc's. However, it should be noted that the We-Vibe Rave is substantially thicker. Compare the diameters, please.)
The 8" Glass Ribbed G-Spot or LELO Ella has a similar design at a lower price range if you're ready to forgo vibrations. Both are very stiff for feeling g-spots. The 8" Glass Ribbed G-Spot goes in so smoothly and quickly (almost no lubricant is needed, at least for me), but if you're stuck on silicone, I'd go for the LELO Ella.
Are you interested in upgrading to the whole experience? Think about the LELO Mona Wave. Rather than exerting yourself by rocking and thrusting, relax and allow this vibrator to do it for you. The "come hither" motion is produced solely by the Mona Wave's shaft. To enjoy the G-spot sensations, all you need to do is relax.
