ZALO Courage Pre-Heating G-Spot Massager Review
My Verdict
The Zalo Courage was a gentle, but effective tool for pleasure. From the 1.3-inch diameter to the tender rumbles, beginners may find this vibrator to be a comfortable introduction to self-love. The heating function may have broken, but it came with a 1-year warranty. Additionally, material quality was questionable and the app failed to connect. Overall, I found Zalo Courage to be a bewitching beauty with some fatal flaws... yet, I still loved it.

Personal Experience
Wish Upon a Star
I still remember the day that I discovered this heated wand; I was sitting in bed, jamming to The Doors, and scouring the internet for a Christmas gift_ for myself. That’s when I saw her: Zalo Courage. She was a bedazzled beauty and boasted jewelry-grade details. At the time, there weren’t any in stock. I lusted to explore her heated bliss. Six months later, my wish was granted.Push my Button
Zalo has a way of transforming practicalities into precious details- like the little, plastic star button. To power on Zalo Courage, simply push the star back for 2 seconds. Filter through vibration modes by tilting the star forwards and backwards. Pressing the top prong of the star straight down activates the heating function. This was such a cute way to sprinkle intrigue into functionality.Lube
I wasted no time getting to know my new friend. With a little water-based lubricant, I’d have thought that Zalo Courage would have slid right in. After all, the maximum diameter was only 1.3 inches. However, a thicker lubricant would have been more ideal for the silicone surface. Once inside, it rested comfortably against the G-spot.Hot Thoughts and Good Vibes
The heating function only took about 3 minutes to reach 107 degrees Fahrenheit. It added a calming warmth to my muscles and was perfect for sensation play. Internally, I couldn’t really detect the temperature difference. The vibrations, on the other hand, were surprisingly rumbly. There were a total of 8 vibration modes, and all of them rippled gently through the nerves. They were slightly less rumbly and less powerful than Lovehoney Heat Wave. It wasn’t enough to make me see stars, but it was a lovely experience.Design
This wand's design is a manifestation of unbridled wonder. The ABS handle is cast like a scepter and kissed with a metallic finish. It's crowned with a ring, encircling a suspended star. Swarovski crystal shines at the star's center. Silky, violet silicone coats the vibrator, like a candy shell dripping over an ice cream cone. From the enchanting aesthetic to the ergonomic grip, Zalo Courage is a work of art. It comes in Fairy Pink and Fantasy Violet.
Ease of Use
Every function was controlled using the Star button in the handle. It wasn't intuitive, but I loved it none the less. Arthritic users will be pleased by how little force it requires to operate. Inserting the charger into the charging port, on the other hand, can be a little finicky. Additionally, the app didn't connect to this toy. I tried multiple times on various days to no avail. It did, however, work just fine with Zalo Nave Vibrating Nipple Clamps.
Quality
Zalo boasts jewelry-grade creations, and they certainly achieved a magical aesthetic. Some of the materials were less impressive. The silicone arrived with a chemical odor, which washed away after a couple of cleanses. The ABS plastic handle felt lightweight to the point of being fragile. Some of the metallic finish has already chipped off. Additionally, the heating function stopped working after only a few uses. That said, the materials are all body-safe and the motor produced rumbly, quiet vibrations.
Price
Zalo Courage retails for $86. It comes with a satin carrying pouch, USB charger, product manual, and 1-year warranty card. Not to mention, this product can be operated using the Zalo Remote App. There aren't many heated vibrators on the market to compare pricing, but the Lovehoney Heat Wave has very similar features and dimensions. It retails for $99. It's more expensive, but also more powerful and rumbly. If one prioritizes power, go with the Heat Wave. If one prioritizes aesthetic, Zalo Courage is your lady.
Performance
Zalo advertises that the battery takes 60 minutes to charge and lasts between two and four hours. Instead, it took 1 hour and 39 minutes to fully charge; that's a 60% increase. The most powerful setting (with the heating function activated) drained the battery in 2 hours and 40 minutes, which does fall into the 2-4 hour range. On the lowest setting (without the heating function activated), it lasted almost exactly 6 hours. While I'd prefer that the charging time match the manufacturer's claims, the actual performance checked out.
Packaging
Zalo Courage arrived, cradled in a baby pink cylinder. The cardboard was sturdy, and tamper-proofed with shrink-wrap. The surface was painted with a collage of mermaids, centaurs, and more. Each deity seemed to be an archetype, symbolizing one of the four elements: Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. Scales, feathers, flames, leaves, and waves weaved throughout the graphic, sewing the beings into a singularity. Ethereal symbols were stamped throughout the image and surrounded a central title: Sweet Magic. It's a package worth cherishing.
Materials and care
This vibrator is comprised of body-safe materials. As with all silicone toys, only use water-based lubricant. Cleanse the Zalo Courage using a toy cleanser and warm water. As mentioned, Zalo Courage is Splashproof, not waterproof. Wash gently and avoid splashing water onto the charging port. Protect from extreme temperatures. Never attempt to boil or sterilize motorized products in the dishwasher.
Special feature
The Zalo Remote Pro App is perhaps the most advantageous perk of Zalo Products. It transforms physical pleasure into an interactive playground. Features like Musical Mode and Shake-it Mode weave creativity into intimacy; and the ability to connect with friends really spices up long-distance play. Unfortunately, Zalo Courage wouldn’t connect. This suggests that there are still some bugs to work out. However, I was still able to test the App using Zalo Nave. It was fun! It’s compatible with IOS and Android operating systems.
