The Dame Pom has a decent power range that begins very soft (1.25 out of 10) and reaches a medium intensity (5.0 out of 10) on high power. 

The Pom’s gentle-to-average strength is great if you’re prone to overstimulation or just prefer moderate intensity. And with its 5 power levels, you can climb through its power range slowly and comfortably. But it may not be enough if you prefer finishing with very intense stimulation. 

If you prefer powerful vibrations, I’d consider the We-Vibe Touch X or Fun Factory Laya III in the Dame Pom’s price range. They both begin as gently as the Dame Pom but finish with stronger vibrations (7.75 out of 10), which is plenty for most people.

I still enjoy the Dame Pom’s milder vibrations. I can orgasm with them, but I definitely need to use the highest setting to get there. It’s a slower process since everything is gentler, but drawing the experience out by edging for a while can be fun and lead to a stronger orgasm eventually.

The We-Vibe Touch X has an excellent power range with soft, moderate, and strong settings. Its top power is a 7.75 out of 10 vibration strength. While not as extreme as some, it’s more than enough power for most people.

The Touch X’s gentlest setting is just 1.5 out of 10 vibration strength, so it begins softly enough for those overstimulated by intensity or who need a warmup. And it climbs gradually through its 8 power levels. There are no large, uncomfortable leaps. Since it thoroughly covers the soft, moderate, and powerful ranges, you’ll likely find vibration levels you enjoy – regardless of whether you prefer mild or powerful stimulation.

I enjoy each power level and usually orgasm on one of the top two settings. Its highest strength of 7.75 is effective without feeling overwhelming. I typically don’t use the higher settings of my stronger bullet and mini vibrators because I find power levels above 9 too intense.

Consider the FemmeFunn Booster Bullet or Blush Limited Addiction if you prefer extreme intensity. However, none of the extremely powerful bullet or mini vibrators I’ve tested have gentle warmup levels (or rumbly vibrations like the Touch X). The Touch X’s more comprehensive power range is better for most people.

We rate rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because it’s what most people prefer.

The Dame Pom has decent rumbliness, with its 5 power levels ranging from extremely rumbly on low to neutral on high. It never becomes buzzy, which many people find overstimulating or numbing. Its low-frequency vibrations and moderate power make it a good option if you prefer milder stimulation. 

If you prefer low-frequency, rumbly vibrations but enjoy more power, there are better options than the Dame Pom. For instance, the We-Vibe Tango X and We-Vibe Touch X have similarly low-frequency (rumbly) vibrations but more strength on those rumbly settings. Or rumbly wand vibrators like the BMS Swan Era Wand or Lovense Domi 2 pack even higher intensity while remaining rumbly.

Which is better for you depends on whether you prefer rumbly, mild vibrations or rumbly, intense vibrations.

We rate rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because it’s what most people prefer.

The We-Vibe Touch X has great rumbliness. The first 5 power levels are rumbly and provide that resonant, impactful stimulation that travels deeper than buzzy vibes. I love that the starting powers are so low-frequency because they feel gentle on the surface, so my clit is not overstimulated. But they travel deep and warm up my body for more intense vibrations.

And the Touch never becomes buzzy – even on its max power. The top 3 settings are neutral (neither rumbly nor buzzy). This adds a kick to those higher power levels that you feel more at the surface of your clit. I love neutral vibrations at this strength. It’s part of why the Touch X is one of my favorite mini vibrators. But if extreme rumbliness is your top priority, the We-Vibe Tango X is even more rumbly.

The Dame Pom’s wide, flexible shape primarily provides broad stimulation. It spreads comfortably along your vulva and vibrates the entire area.

Using the Dame Pom’s ridged tip, you can also focus the stimulation more. But resting the Pom over the entire area for broad stimulation is easiest. A bullet-shaped toy like the We-Vibe Tango X is better if you prefer precise stimulation. 

The Pom’s flexible shape and squishy texture help its broad stimulation feel especially comfortable. It feels like the Pom is spreading out to fill every nook and cranny. 

The flexible core also gives you more control over exactly where you apply pressure. You can palm this whole toy and use your fingers to press the vibrations exactly where you want them. Since the Pom is not rigid, the pressure isn’t an “all or nothing” deal – you can choose which areas you want to feel that firm pressure.

The We-Vibe Touch X provides broad stimulation. This widespread contact is great if you want direct clitoral stimulation, but you’re also prone to overstimulation. This broad surface area is the only way I can enjoy direct clitoral vibrations because the pressure is more diffuse.

This rumbly vibrator blankets your vulva with soft, smooth silicone. The firm core of this toy allows you to apply some pressure over a wider area. Or you can use the flexible tip to target a more precise spot comfortably.

The shape and texture of the Dame Pom make it extremely comfortable on your body, but applying pressure is challenging. 

The plush, flexible core easily contours to your body with a gentle, pillowy feel. The flexibility and broad, contoured shape make for a snug fit that spreads the pressure and vibrations comfortably along your whole vulva. 

The extreme flexibility limits the pressure you can apply though. So it’s best for those who enjoy gentle or medium pressure, broadly spread across your vulva – not those who like to firmly press the vibrator into a particular spot. Any pressure comes from pushing the back of the Pom with your fingers – not like a toy with a handle that you can leverage with your hand or arm for a ton of pressure. 

The Magic Wand Micro is cheaper and has a similar level of plushness in the head, but has a solid handle, so it’s easier to apply firm pressure. But the Magic Wand Micro’s power range is more limited.

I had to get used to the Dame Pom’s buttons. Since the palm vibrator is very squishy, the controls are easy to press accidentally. Sometimes, when I flex the Pom, the bending motion automatically clicks the increase power button. So there’s a minor learning curve to prevent this from happening.

I enjoy that the Dame Pom has separate buttons to increase and decrease power, or move through vibration patterns. So you can quickly reach your desired setting. You can also hold down the buttons to steadily change power for a more gradual build (rather than stepping up or down through the 5 preset power levels). So once you get used to the buttons, they provide excellent control.

The We-Vibe Touch X is very comfortable and easy to use. The wide, flat design fits comfortably in my hand, and I can easily push it against my vulva with my palm. Even though it has more contact with my hand than bullet-shaped toys, the vibrations only travel minimally into my hand since the plush silicone dampens them. So it’s very comfortable to hold.

As a palm vibrator, there’s not an obvious handle as bullet or wand vibrators have. So leveraging the Touch X for heavy pressure is less intuitive. You may need to adjust your finger placement or grip on the vibrator to apply substantial pressure. Those who enjoy especially firm pressure may consider a mini wand vibrator like the Magic Wand Mini. 

But I enjoy gentle to medium pressure with the Touch X’s broad contact area – and this is easy to apply with your palm.

The Touch X’s buttons provide fantastic control. It has 3 buttons to increase and decrease power or move through its 6 vibration patterns. So you can quickly reach your preferred setting. This is much more convenient than the one-button system most mini and bullet vibrators use, which requires you to cycle through every intensity level and pattern to return to a previous setting. This is another way the Touch X improved on the old model.

The Dame Pom works really well during sex as long as you prefer milder, rumbly stimulation. The tip covers a comfortable area, and you don’t have to worry about precisely positioning it in the “exact right spot” since it broadly covers your whole clit and upper vulva.

The stimulation is lovely, and I’m able to keep good contact with my clit during sex. Since the tip is flexible, it moves with my body during sex to stay in contact. 

It’s easiest to situate the Dame Pom in positions where you’re not facing your partner and have lots of space for your hand and the toy since both will need to be between your legs. But even in Missionary position, it still works well since the shape is so flat, and your fingers rest flatly along the back of the toy. So together, your hand and the Pom are not too thick that they take up that much space – it just takes a little more intentionality in face-to-face positions.

The We-Vibe Touch X is awesome to use during sex. 

The Touch X’s tip is thin and curves downward slightly. And although its shape is relatively wide, it’s also contoured and reasonably flat. These aspects help it slip easily into tight spaces despite being bigger than many bullet vibrators. It maintains excellent contact with my clit, even in positions where space is limited, like Missionary.

It presses comfortably on my body, and the rumbly vibrations travel deep to stimulate me well. With a classic-shaped bullet vibrator, I spend more time trying to find a comfortable and effective placement. But the broader, flat surface of the Touch X blankets everything and eliminates the need to find the exact right spot.

The Dame Pom is very quiet for the most part, and it’s unlikely any housemates will hear you using it. 

However, it can make an occasional rattling sound on its highest power. We test every mini vibrator to see whether someone may hear it on the other side of a closed door. My partner listens as I use the vibrator in the bedroom, and he notes whether he can hear it. My partner could only hear the Dame Pom when I used it at its maximum power and only when it made a rattling sound. 

This was his note in our testing spreadsheet: “Even with this occasional rattle, I still have to try hard to hear it. It’s unlikely someone would actually notice it during ordinary use.”

I can also prevent the Pom from rattling by adjusting my grip to keep it in better contact with my body. If you’d rather play it safe, simply turning on a box fan or playing music in the bedroom makes the Dame Pom completely inaudible behind a closed door. Or you could try an exceptionally discreet vibrator like the We-Vibe Touch X if you’re very concerned about noise.

The We-Vibe Touch X is exceptionally discreet. It’s one of my quietest vibrators, which is especially impressive considering its high power.

My partner cannot hear it from the other side of the bedroom door when I’m using it on any power level or setting. And even from within the room, the sound is so subtle that even the most noise-sensitive folks will find this one hardly detectable.

When measuring noise, the We-Vibe Touch X was one of the only bullets or mini vibrators that was too quiet for our Sound Level Meter to measure. On its highest power, the Touch X remained quieter than the ambient background noise of the room itself. So, the 35 dB listed above is the ambient room noise. To measure the actual decibels, we will need a quieter testing studio.

The Dame Pom is rechargeable and has a decent battery life, lasting 85 minutes on high power. This should be plenty for most people, but you’ll want to charge between every couple of uses depending on how long you run it.

A full charge takes 2 hours using its magnetic USB charging cable.

The We-Vibe Touch X is rechargeable and has a good battery life, lasting 85 minutes on high power during our testing. This is plenty for me, and I typically use it several times without charging between uses.

It uses We-Vibe’s standard magnetic USB charging cable, which is the same across almost all their current products.

The Dame Pom’s build quality is okay. It has many qualities that make it feel luxurious, like its comfortably plush, silky silicone exterior. And its contoured shape that fits naturally in your palm, or its completely waterproof design. 

But the extremely flexible structure also causes it to feel cheap in some ways – for instance, when the Dame Pom flexes, the flexing motion often presses one of the buttons accidentally. And it almost feels precariously held together inside, as though too much flexing could damage it – although I’ve had no issues with it wearing out or breaking.

The We-Vibe Touch X has superb build quality. It’s covered entirely in silky smooth silicone. The silicone is thicker and more plush than other vibrators, especially near the tip. This makes it feel especially comfortable and luxurious. It still has a solid, rigid body beneath the silicone with a good weight that feels sturdy and durable. The buttons are also easy to press and feel well-made.

The Dame Pom is extremely easy to clean because it’s 100% waterproof. So you can completely submerge the Pom as you scrub with soapy water. You can also use it worry-free in the shower or bathtub.

The We-Vibe Touch X is 100% waterproof, making it very easy to clean. You can submerge this toy completely while you scrub it with soap and water! And, of course, you can use it in the bathtub or shower.
