Dame Zee vs VeDO Bam 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 VeDO Bam is a decent bullet vibrator, and I enjoy it. But some cheaper options perform better overall.
The VeDO Bam is one of the most powerful bullet vibrators I’ve tested, but it has no gentle or mid-intensity settings. And many people will need those warmup levels that it’s missing. The Blush Limited Addiction provides a broader power range and performs better overall than the VeDO Bam – at a lower price.
Besides its lack of gentler settings, the VeDO Bam performs reasonably well. It’s easy to leverage and maneuver, the medium-width tapered tip allows you to vary the surface area in contact for more precise or broader stimulation, and its silicone is smooth and comfy. But it doesn’t exceed the performance of the cheaper Blush bullet. So in this price range, I recommend it instead to most people.

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 VeDO Bam is a powerful bullet with no low or medium power levels. If you prefer intensity, it’s enjoyable! But its lowest of 3 settings is a 7.9 out of 10 for strength, so it can be jarring if you don’t start by warming up with a gentler bullet first.
It reaches a 9.5 out of 10 on high, one of the most powerful I’ve tested. However, the Bam’s power and range underperform compared to cheaper options. The Blush Limited Addiction begins softer (5 out of 10) than the VeDO Bam and finishes stronger (10 out of 10) at a cheaper price. On the other hand, if you prefer milder stimulation, try the Pillow Talk Flirty instead – a bullet with its power range focused around gentler settings.
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 vibrations higher than buzzy ones because it’s what most people want. But this is a personal preference, so if you enjoy buzzy vibes, pay more attention to the frequency chart than the rating.
The VeDO Bam’s vibrations have a neutral feeling on its lowest two settings, and its highest setting is moderately buzzy. I personally enjoy the first two powers because I like neutral vibrations in a bullet. They provide a bit of zing while still traveling reasonably deep. But it would be nice if the VeDO Bam also had some rumbly low levels like the Blush Limited Addiction has.
You’ll need to increase your budget if you care a lot about having deep, rumbly vibrations. Most bullet vibrators in the VeDO Bam’s price range have decent, but not excellent, rumbliness. The Pillow Talk Racy is a bit more expensive, and two-thirds of its power range is rumbly.
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.
You can get a mix of focused and broad stimulation from the VeDO Bam. It’s wider than many bullet vibrators, so you can get somewhat broad stimulation and pressure using the side of the bullet. But the tip has a slight taper, so you can use the end for more precise stimulation. As a result, it’s pretty versatile.
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 VeDO Bam is a comfortable and easy-to-use bullet vibrator. It’s a great length for leveraging, and since the structure is very rigid, you can get excellent pressure.
The VeDO Bam transfers some slight vibrations into your hand. But it will only bother people especially sensitive to this.
The button to control the vibration intensity and patterns is on the bottom. You have to adjust your grip slightly during use to press the button. You must also cycle through all powers and patterns to get to the one you want. It starts on the highest strength and cycles down to lower powers as you keep pressing. And since there are 3 power levels and 7 vibration patterns, there’s a lot to tap through.
I prefer bullets that let me power up or back down to find my ideal setting. That way, if I miss the one I want, I don’t have to cycle back through everything again. The Blush Limited Addiction is a budget-friendly option with a multi-button system.
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 VeDO Bam is a great size and shape for getting into tight spaces and leveraging easily during sex.
The vibrations travel into the handle a little bit, which does not bother me much during solo use but can be distracting during sex for some. It’s all about how I hold the bullet, and I find it less distracting in the spooning position than in missionary.
I don’t notice handle vibrations as much with the Blush Limited Addiction, Pillow Talk Flirty, or Pillow Talk Racy. The Racy even has a convenient inward curve, useful for leveraging the bullet without bumping against your partner. And since they’re about the same price and are better overall, I’d recommend one of these instead of the VeDO Bam if you want something great during sex.
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 VeDO Bam is inaudible behind a closed door on all intensity levels – even with its exceptional power. So it’s a safe option if you are worried about housemates overhearing.
The vibrations have a buzzy pitch, which isn’t as pleasant as deeper-sounding bullets, but they don’t bother me because they’re relatively quiet. If you are very noise-sensitive, there are quieter, deeper-sounding bullet and mini vibrators like the We-Vibe Touch X or Je Joue Classic.
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 VeDO Bam is rechargeable and lasted 78 minutes, continuously vibrating on high power during our testing. This is impressive, considering the bullet’s high strength.
You can find other high-powered options that last over an hour but are typically more expensive. So this is a great budget-friendly option if you care about a long runtime.
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 VeDO Bam has a good build quality. It has a nice weight that makes it feel solid and well-made. You charge the bullet by screwing off a plastic cap, which makes it feel a little cheaper. But the silicone is smooth and comfortable. It’s not quite as luxurious as some models, but it looks good, and I’ve had no issues with it.
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 VeDO Bam is completely waterproof, so it’s very easy to clean. It has an IPX7 rating which means you can safely submerge it up to a meter deep for up to half an hour. So simply clean it with soap and water.
