Dame Zee vs Pillow Talk Flirty Side-By-Side Comparison
Performance Ratings
Our Verdict
The Dame Zee is an extremely budget-friendly bullet vibrator, but it significantly underperforms in many areas – even compared to other inexpensive options. Most importantly, the Dame Zee has weak power and limited range. And its especially short length makes it more difficult to maneuver than longer bullets.
For this price, you can find better options: The Pillow Talk Flirty is an excellent alternative if you prefer gentle vibes, but want something that at least has a few stronger power levels too. And the Blush Limited Addiction is great if you prefer moderate to intense strength.
The Dame Zee also lacks rumbly-feeling vibes. However, a rumbly frequency is often something you have to pay a bit more for, so the rumbly alternatives have a higher price point.
The Je Joue Classic is a stronger, rumbly option with the closest price. Or if you’re looking for one of the most rumbly bullets, the We-Vibe Tango X is the best choice.
The Pillow Talk Flirty is one of the most affordable bullet vibrators. It has a gentle to mid-strength power range with mostly neutral to buzzy vibrations. It’s quiet, easy to use, and water-resistant for easy cleaning. But the battery only lasts about 40 minutes on high power, so you’ll have to charge it frequently.
If you prefer more power and rumbliness, consider the Pillow Talk Racy for about $20 more. Or the Blush Limited Addiction is a more powerful alternative in the Flirty’s price range, but this one lacks any gentle warmup settings. The Pillow Talk Flirty is a great budget-friendly bullet vibrator if you prefer mild to moderate vibrations and find high intensity overwhelming.

Vibrations: Power And Range
The Dame Zee’s power is incredibly weak – reaching only a 2.7 out of 10 on its top strength. It’s the weakest bullet vibrator I’ve tried that I can just barely orgasm with. But while I can orgasm using the Dame Zee, it takes time and effort. There are plenty of comparably-priced bullets that make it easier!
The Zee has 3 power levels, with the lowest starting at only a .25 out of 10. So the first level is hardly a whisper against my clit. Even if you’re looking for a gentle toy to limit overstimulation, I’d still recommend one that gives you the option to go stronger.
For instance, the Je Joue Classic Bullet and Pillow Talk Flirty both have soft, lower powers (under 2 out of 10 intensity). But their upper levels are stronger than the Dame Zee’s, giving you a better range to enjoy.
Or if you prefer high intensity, the Blush Limited Addiction and Nasstoys Intense Travel Vibe Mini are two powerful bullets for about the same price as the Zee.
The Pillow Talk Flirty has gentle to mid-level power. It’s excellent for those who prefer milder vibrations or get overstimulated by intense power.
To move through its power range, you press and hold the button to increase power gradually. As a result, steps between intensity levels are subtle and comfortable. And the Flirty covers the mild to moderate power range very well.
The lowest power starts at 1.5 out of 10 vibration strength, but the highest only reaches 5 out of 10. When I use the Pillow Talk Flirty, I can orgasm from it, but it takes some effort. So it’s not one I reach for often, but it can be great for those overstimulated by intense power.
If you prefer more power, consider the Blush Limited Addiction in this price range. It’s stronger but lacks gentle levels. Or, if you want to keep those low powers but add some strength, try the slightly more expensive Pillow Talk Racy.
Vibrations: Frequency (Rumbliness)
We rate vibrators with rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because it’s what most people prefer. The Dame Zee has below-average rumbliness.
The Dame Zee’s first two power levels technically fall within the “rumbly” range, but the rumbly vibes have little impact since they’re so weak. And by the time you reach the top intensity level, the vibrations are no longer rumbly.
For that quality, rumbly feel at a higher power, you often have to pay a bit more. The Je Joue Classic Bullet is an excellent, rumbly alternative that’s about $20 more. Or if you’d like one of the most rumbly and well-loved bullets, the We-Vibe Tango X is a fantastic, premium choice.
We rate rumbly vibrators higher than buzzy ones because it’s what most people want. But preferences vary, so consider what you enjoy.
The Pillow Talk Flirty has below-average rumbliness. Its softest power levels are in the rumbly range, but most people will use these gentle levels only briefly while warming up. Its stronger power levels range from neutral-feeling to moderately buzzy.
It can be enjoyable if you prefer buzzy vibrations. But I find the mild power paired with the buzzy frequency packs little impact. So it’s best if you like light stimulation. I enjoy neutral or moderately buzzy vibrations, but typically when paired with more strength than the Flirty has.
You’ll need to increase your budget slightly if you prefer rumbly vibrations. The Pillow Talk Racy is the most affordable bullet with great rumbliness. Or you could go with a mini wand like the BMS Swan Era, which is even more rumbly than the Racy, and not much pricier.
Stimulation Precision
The Dame Zee has a narrow head with a tapered tip that provides precise stimulation. If you like focused stimulation, you can limit your stimulation to a tiny area by using the tip of the bullet.
Often you can get broader stimulation by pressing the side of a bullet against you instead of the tip. But since the Dame Zee is so short, it’s difficult to hold it in that position. So the Zee is best if you prefer focused stimulation.
The Pillow Talk Flirty provides a medium amount of precision for a bullet. The tip is slightly bulbous, spreading out the vibrations a bit and making it comfortable to press firmly against my body.
It’s less precise than tapered and lipstick-shaped bullet vibrators. But it’s more focused than broad mini vibrators like the Dame Pom or We-Vibe Touch X. The amount of precision you enjoy is entirely a personal preference.
Comfort & Ease of Use
While the Dame Zee isn’t really uncomfortable, most bullets I’ve tried are easier to use. The Dame Zee is especially small, even compared to other bullets making it more difficult to grip and maneuver. You have to grip the tiny handle pretty tightly between the tips of your fingers which can be tiring.
There’s not enough length along the short handle to leverage the Dame Zee. So any pressure comes from your whole hand and arm pressing the toy in. Longer bullets like the Blush Limited Addiction, rest more comfortably in your hand, and allow you to control firm or soft pressure by efficiently leveraging the toy in your fingers.
You control the Dame Zee’s power by cycling through with a single button, which is easy to press without adjusting your grip. Typically, these one-button cycle setups are frustrating. But since there are only 3 power levels and no patterns on the Zee, it’s easy to tap through quickly.
The Pillow Talk Flirty is a very comfortable bullet that’s easy to use. It’s relatively long for a bullet vibrator (4.3 inches), making it very comfortable to grip, leverage, and apply pressure. The vibrations don’t travel into my hand much, so the grip is fantastic. And the button to adjust power is easily within my reach without needing to change my hold on the bullet.
The control system takes some getting used to, but is straightforward once you learn it. Hold the Flirty’s button, and the bullet will gradually increase power. Once it reaches your desired strength, you release the button. To move back down, you’ll need to double-click the button to begin again at the gentlest setting.
I prefer vibrators with two buttons to increase and decrease power, but I like that the Flirty’s system inherently provides gradual, subtle steps between intensity levels.
Use During Sex
The Dame Zee is not worth messing with during sex. The stimulation is so weak that it has little impact. And because the Zee is so tiny, you really have to get your fingers down there working hard to get any good pressure. Using the Zee during sex takes a lot of effort with little payoff, so I find it more of a distraction.
If you’ll frequently use your bullet vibrator during sex, I recommend slightly longer bullets with more strength. The Pillow Talk Flirty (low to medium power) and Blush Limited Addiction (medium to extreme power) are better alternatives in this same price range.
Or, if you want one of the best bullet vibrators overall, the We-Vibe Tango X is also great during sex.
The Pillow Talk Flirty is easy to use during sex. It’s best in a spooning position or others where you’re facing away from your partner. The relatively slender size is great for fitting into tight spots. And since it has a slight flex, it’s very comfortable and able to keep great contact, even with a bit of jostling around. The slight flexibility makes it a bit more difficult to apply pressure during sex, but still easier than most bullets since it’s longer.
Positions where you’re facing your partner are a little trickier because you have to angle the toy so the end of it doesn’t hit your partner’s chest. But since it’s not a very long toy, it’s very doable. It just takes some intentionality.
While the Pillow Talk Flirty is good during sex, I have even better success with the Pillow Talk Racy because the tip of the toy curves inward. This helps to maintain good contact without having to angle the bullet in a way that contacts my partner’s chest.
Noise
The Dame Zee is inaudible from behind a closed door on all power levels. But since it’s also one of my weakest bullet vibrators, this isn’t very impressive.
If you want a discreet bullet, there are plenty of quiet but stronger options available. For those on a budget, the Je Joue Classic, Nasstoys Intense Travel Vibe Mini, and Blush Limited Addiction are all inaudible from behind a closed door as well.
And the We-Vibe Touch X is one of my absolute favorites and has the lowest decibel reading, but it’s not cheap.
The Pillow Talk Flirty is one of my quietest bullet vibrators! While recording its decibel readings with our Sound Level Meter, it was quieter than the room’s ambient sound. When I’m using it in our bedroom, my partner cannot hear it from the other side of the closed door on any power levels. So it’s safe to use if you live with others.
The discreet noise is no surprise since it’s only mid-powered. If you want something quiet but prefer stronger bullet vibrators, consider the Pillow Talk Racy.
Battery Life
The Dame Zee is rechargeable and has a long battery life lasting 2 hours on high power. But since it’s weaker than other bullets, this is not much to boast about. Of course it lasts a while – it doesn’t use much power!
The We-Vibe Tango X and Nasstoys Intense Travel Vibe Mini last an hour and a half. And the Je Joue Classic and Blush Limited Addiction last around an hour on high. All these are stronger options, and you can even draw their battery life out longer if you use the lower levels.
The Flirty’s battery life is short compared to most bullets, especially when you consider its low power range. You’ll definitely want to make sure to charge it fully between each use.
If you’re the type to forget to charge it (like me), you’ll want to pick something with a longer battery life. The Je Joue Classic is a great option. And even though the Blush Limited Addiction’s battery life isn’t much higher, you can extend it even further if you use some low or middle power levels.
Build Quality
The Dame Zee feels a little cheaply made because it’s so lightweight and doesn’t feel as solid as some others. But I’ve had no issues with it breaking so far. And while the button on the end does not feel very high-quality, it functions fine.
Even at this budget-friendly price point, I prefer the more solid feel of the Blush Limited Addiction or Nasstoys Intense Travel Vibe Mini.
The Pillow Talk Flirty has an excellent build quality, especially for an inexpensive bullet vibrator. The silicone feels smooth, but grippy and is luxurious. And the slight flexibility makes it comfortable, but it still feels sturdy. I’m not concerned about breaking it with too much pressure.
Cleaning
The Dame Zee is very easy to clean. It’s IPX6 Water Resistant which means that it can resist high pressure jets of water. In other words, you can clean it in the sink using soap and water without worry. But it’s not rated to be completely submerged, so don’t use it in the bathtub.
The Pillow Talk Flirty is IPX6 water-resistant, which makes it very easy to clean. IPX6 products can resist “high-pressure, heavy sprays of water” so you can wash it under a faucet without worrying about damaging the toy. Just clean with soap and water.
