ZALO Sesh Compact Sex Machine Review
My Verdict
My first experience with a Zalo product has completely sold me on the brand as well as the Zalo Sesh. The carrying case for this compact thrusting sex machine was extremely well thought out and organized which is a huge bonus for a Virgo like me. The attachments were the perfect blend of velvety and squishy and the base was absolutely stunning. The best part for me was that even though the Sesh looks high maintenance, it's shockingly easy to assemble and take apart in seconds, leaving more time to enjoy it!

Personal Experience
First Impressions
I was amazed as I unwrapped the Zalo Sesh from it’s packaging. I wasn’t expecting such a nice storage case with little compartments. When I popped the case open, I was shocked at how beautiful and aesthetic a sex toy could be. The color is almost regal, and the attention to detail in the design was a nice change in the toy market where minimalist design has been reigning king the last several years. The dildo attachments were soft and velvety and squishy to the touch and I was able to assemble the Sesh very quickly. The bit that took the longest was waiting for the thruster to charge, so I do suggest charging it in advance. The charger is magnetic and slightly difficult to position perfectly, so I did accidentally knock it off without noticing and had to start my wait over again. Happily, this is my only real complaint!Quick Sesh or Long, You Can’t Go Wrong
The Sesh is incredibly versatile, and as long as you have have privacy, you can use it just about anywhere. The suction cup is super sticky on the bottom and also has a locking function to keep in securely in place for your floors, tiled walls or even a plastic chair allowing you to get really adventurous. You can really place yourself in some fun predicaments since you don’t need to use your hands at all to have fun. The assembly and controls are simple and intuitive, so you can get thrusting in no time. The battery life is about forty-five minutes to an hour long which is more than enough time for a portable sex machine, especially with how much power is packed into this small package.Mix and Match Combinations
I decided to give the Sesh a try when I was alone and could really get to know it, one on one. I made sure use ample lube and tested out the remote option while lying in bed. The Sesh does have some heft to it, and can cause your arm to tire when you’re using the thrusting option, especially for a longer session, but using the remote instead of the buttons on the toy helped balance that out for me. I was surprised by how little time I needed to find the right spot due to the squishy tip covering more of my g-spot with each thrust than the average dildo or g-spot vibe. The malleable tip also ensures that you have gentler thrusts, even on the highest settings, which was something I was wary about going into it. The strong vibrations were exactly what I want in a toy, and the fact that even the lower vibrations were on the strong side is a definite bonus. I also loved the varying textures of the two attachments. One has amazing little ripples while the other has a more realistic shaped head with a distinct ridge. All in all, I think this little machine has a really great mix of different stimulations and ways to use it so that you can always have a reliable, but fresh experience with it.Design
The Sesh is a high quality, luxe silicone with a stunning base. It comes in very sleek gemstone colors and is adorned with a precious little crystal. The base also has a beautiful metallic design that is reminiscent of scales on a mermaid tale that glisten in the light. It's probably the most beautiful and detailed toy that I own and it's almost a shame to keep it tucked away in the little black leather case that it comes with. I love that the tips of the dildo attachments are soft and malleable without looking cheap or like they might flop off if you turn it on high. The soft tip really allows you to work your g-spot with out fatigue or pain, which I think can sometimes be a deterrent when it comes to insertables.
Ease of Use
The Zalo Sesh was really easy to use. You're able to put the attachments on with a flick of the wrist and assembling the suction cup took less than two minutes. I was able to flick through the settings on the toy and the remote mid-play very easily as the buttons were very intuitive. Signing up for the app and connecting my toy through bluetooth took less than a minute each. I had no issued with the weight, but I could see someone with grip issues or an arm injury growing fatigued after a while. Luckily, the remote controls allow you to use the suction cup to be hands free if your arm needs a break. If you're new to sex toys or thrusters, I could see you needing to get the hang of balancing so many different types of stimulation and needing to find what combinations work best for you.
Quality
The Sesh is a high quality toy. Its design is incredible thought out in almost every detail. It's easy to store as everything has a place in its little case and the case itself is innocuous. The silicone is soft and smooth and the decorative design is almost as pleasurable as the toy itself. The suction cup and its brackets are shockingly sturdy and easy to reposition to the angle of your choosing. The Sesh is on the loud side, but I don't expect many thrusters to be quiet. The only real downside that I experienced was that the charger is magnetic. This can be a positive for some as you don't have to worry about damaging a charging port, but I find it difficult to keep the charger where it needs to be. It is very easy to knock off and not realize until you're ready to play.
Price
The price tag for the Zalo Sesh is definitely very hefty for a sex toy, but I feel that it's in the mid range for a sex machine. You get two well-made dildo attachments, a suction cup base, a leather storage case, a remote control, app access and a one year warranty. The quality of the Sesh and the variety of options that you have access to really justify the cost. I have spent more money on multiple cheap thrusters that do less, so I would suggest if you want to invest in a sex machine to go for a higher quality model.
Performance
I was worried that the Sesh would be too stiff and possibly even painful based on photos. I was thrilled to learn how wrong I was. The tip was soft and perfectly squishy and allows you to hit your g-spot without feeling overstimulated. The warming function also felt great. I don't think you realize how impactful small details like that are until you actually experience them. The vibrations were on the strong end of the spectrum which is especially helpful with thrusters as you can lose track of that sensation if you have your thruster on a high speed. The thrusting was faster and more seamless than most human partners could manage, but it didn't feel like it was excessively fast and you have several speeds to choose from. The battery life lasts for about forty-five minutes to an hour, but I think that can differ depending on how many functions you're using all at once. The Sesh is not as loud as most other sex machines, but it is definitely louder than most of the toys that I personally own. I don't think that I could use it discreetly if I needed to, especially if using the suction cup base.
Packaging
The box that the toy came in was very simple. It was a black box with a few photos of the toy, the color options and a feature key. It didn't give any tips on how to use the toy, but there were a couple manuals in the box that gave assembly and cleaning instructions. I was not blown away by the packaging, but appreciate having detailed instructions in lieu of a flashy box.
Materials and care
The Zalo Sesh is made of premium, body-safe silicone. Considering that this is a sex machine, they toys are fairly light weight and very compact. The base of the toy is heavier than the attachments, but it does need to have enough stability in order to thrust, so it makes logistical sense. The Sesh is not waterproof and can be easily cleaned using cleansing wipes or towels. This compact little thrusting machine comes in a small, black leather case that is about the size of a shoebox. The case is excellent quality, with a velvety trim on the inside and sectioned off compartments for every piece. It's also very discreet and could easily be hidden on a closet shelf or somewhere similar without guests giving it a second thought.
Special feature
This thruster has a few special features. It has both an app and a remote control, which is perfect for solo hands free play or play with a partner…whether they’re near or far. It also has a heating function to ensure you’re really warmed up for whats to come. It thrusts as well as vibrates and can also be used handheld or by affixing the suction cup base to the wall or floor. I really loved being able to have so many different options for play in one toy. You could stick the Sesh onto your shower door and have someone else control your toy from another continent, lay in bed and use the control on the toy itself or have a partner use the remote while they’re multitasking and your in a fun little predicament.
