ZALO Talis Review
My Verdict
The ZALO Talis just wasn't for me. Though it's one of the most beautiful toys I've ever held, and has some of the best packaging I've ever seen in this industry, the sensations the Talis offered simply weren't comfortable or pleasurable for my body.

Personal Experience
First Impressions
I was over the moon excited to try the Talis G-Spot Pulsewave Vibrator. I’m familiar with Pulsewave technology, and have enjoyed many toys with similar technology for clitoral stimulation. This was going to be my first time with a sucking sensation internally, so I was ecstatic to try out this product. Upon opening the box, my excitement only grew. The Talis G-Spot Pulsewave Vibrator is an exceptionally attractive product. From the packaging to the design of the actual toy itself, it screamed high-class, and I wanted to use it right away.The Good and The Bad
I tried the Talis G-Spot Pulsewave Vibrator three different times — twice with a partner and once solo. Though I found it to be very easy to use, thanks to the controls on its handle, the vibrations and pulsewave technology were so uncomfortable that I don’t think I will ever be using it again. One thing I did appreciate about the Talis is that there are so many ways to approach using it. The first time my partner and I used this together, I wanted to try everything, so I dove right in and (beginning slowly) engaged both vibrations and the sucking mechanics. However, the experience was instantly too much, bordering on painful. I then tried each of these sensations one at a time, before ultimately giving up and deciding to use the toy another time. I assumed that this was my fault — that I wasn’t sufficiently in the mood, and that my body just wasn’t ready. However, when I revisited The Talis G-Spot Pulsewave Vibrator with my partner, I had similar results. Despite the fact that I was very turned on, had used lots of lubricant, and had enjoyed a long foreplay session, it wasn’t that my body wasn’t ready. It was that the toy simply wasn’t for me. Finally, I attempted to use The Talis G-Spot Pulsewave Vibrator again, this time solo. I was determined to enjoy myself and have a good time. I attempted to use all of the settings and both with and without the provided sucking attachment. However, I only lasted about five minutes of use time before giving up. I was uncomfortable, in pain, and found the sensations offered by The Talis G-Spot Pulsewave Vibrator to be the antithesis of arousing. I put the toy down without climaxing and have not picked it up again since.Design
The design of the Talis G-Spot Pulsewave Vibrator is were this product excels. It is easily the most beautiful sex toy that I have ever seen, much less owned, and I tip my proverbial hat to the design team. From the inlaid accents to the color selection to the artful curves, the Talis G-Spot Pulsewave Vibrator is not just a toy — it's art. It's a statement piece. The curb appeal of this toy out of the box cannot be overstated. It just screams luxury.
Ease of Use
This is one of the most accessible-friendly toys that I've ever tested for this sight. Most toys have their buttons on the bottom or lower side, which makes controlling the toy while it's inside you a tricky task for even an able-bodied person. However, the Talis G-Spot Pulsewave Vibrator has its control on an upwardly curved exterior handle, making it easily accessible. Whether you're controlling your own toy or a partner is behind you, the opportunities for creative play are limitless and breezy. While there may be a slight learning curve in remembering what each particular button on the control stick does, it still is quite easy to use.
Quality
The visual quality of the Talis G-Spot Pulsewave Vibrator is unmatched. I don't think I've ever seen a more beautiful toy at first glance. However, much to my dismay, the actual toy, once in use, did not live up to its beautiful exterior. It's loud, its vibrations are jumpy and rumbly. I understand that other people might find "rumbly" to be a good thing, but in the case of the Talis G-Spot Pulsewave vibrator, it felt like someone had put a vibrating egg in a box and haphazardly shaken it around. While the toy looks elegant and refined, its functions certainly were not.
Price
For the gorgeous design, the immaculate packaging, and the accessibility alone, I would say that the Talis G-Spot Pulsewave Vibrator is in line with other toys on the market at its $99 price point. Though I didn't personally like this toy and the sensations it offered, if one were interested in its particular features, it would be appropriately priced.
Performance
I simply did not like the Talis G-Spot Pulsewave Vibrator. It didn't feel good. It often hurt to use. In particular, the pulsewave technology on the G-Spot was aggressive and at times felt, in my personal opinion, unsafe. As someone with an IUD, the intensity of the sucking sensation, even at its lowest point, was frighteningly powerful, and I kept worrying that it was going to dislodge my device. It often caused me pain. Not very sexy! The other vibration features, unfortunately, felt clumsy. I wanted desperately to enjoy this, but it simply didn't perform as beautifully as the rest of the toy promised. I never once orgasmed with this toy, which was terribly disappointing.
Packaging
Again this is another area were the Talis excels. Zalo toys are not only some of the most beautiful toys on the market, but they have the packaging to match. The aesthetic is very much "luxury Egyptian inspired" and you can feel it in every single design flourish. The box was black and set off by gold, with a picturebox window that immediately allowed me to get a glimpse of the prize inside. The box was not cheaply made, and inside, a custom carrier for the toy hid the manual, charger, and bag beneath. Incredibly luxurious!
Materials and care
The Talis G-Spot Pulsewave Vibrator is made from food-grade silicone with ABS plastic accents, both of which are body-safe, non-porous materials. It is quite heavy, but the materials seem high-quality. It's also waterproof and comes with meticulous cleaning instructions. It should not ever be used with silicone-based lubricants, as it can degrade the silicone material of the toy.
