I am a huge fan of all things Lolita and Daddy/Daughter play is one of my biggest kinks, I am also a hopeless romantic and the sort of person who wears their heart on their sleeve… all of that makes me feel like the beautifully feminine Zalo Baby Heart Vibrator is a sex toy that was created just made for me (because I’m a narcissist like that). Okay, I know I ragged on the over the top ‘girly-ness’ that the Womanizer W100 and Womanizer 2Go had, but to me those were cheesy… tacky even, the Zalo Baby Heart is simply understated and lovely. I know there are probably a handful of you who are rolling your eyes at me right now…
But seriously, the Baby Heart Vibrator is breathtakingly beautiful palm sized external vibrator covered in a very luxuriously smooth silicone. And just in case the vibrator alone wasn’t sweet enough, the Baby Heart also features an 18k gold plated metal chain with an adorable little heart charm at the end, just for good measure. Frankly, I’m having eyeball orgasms just looking at the thing. While the Baby Heart is available in your typical shades of pink (Strawberry Pink and Berry Violet) whats awesome is that it is also available in two non-pink colors (which I know is a big deal for some people, however… I’m a sucker for pinks and purples) Vanilla white, which is what is pictured in this review, and Melon Green. All four colors are pastel, soft, and dreamy and very befitting of the whole Lolita vibe the Baby Heart Vibrator has going on.
The Zalo Baby Heart is also so delightfully packaged that it just screams “give me as a gift!” I’ll leave it up to you whether that gift is to yourself (self-love, woo-hoo!) or someone special (it’s a great couples toy!)… it’s so precious that even Grandma will love it, she can keep buttons and stale hard candies in the box after she unwraps it. I know if I were to receive this as a gift from my partner, I’d probably be all twitterpated. So, the packaging consists of several layers that really do feel like you are unwrapping some kind of luxury gift item. The experience begins with what Zalo describes as a French Boudoir influenced gift box and that you can use upper layer to store jewelry or other keepsakes and keep your Zalo toy hidden in lower layer. Fancy-schmancy! How I love a good box! Once the lid is lifted, the upper most layer is exposed and contains a little ribbon bow that holds down a satiny storage bag, the USB charging cable, instruction manual and the warranty card (it comes with a one year warranty with free replacement then after that they offer a 50% discount on replacement for the next 10 years). Finally, if you lift out that upper most tray, there sits the sweet little Baby Heart Vibrator all nestled in its foam cut out nest. There is only a small number of toys that have really wowed me with their packaging, Zalo’s presentation game is on point.
In use, I knew going into this review that the Baby Heart Vibrator wasn’t going to be a toe curling experience for me. It is not a knock your socks off powerful vibrator, but that is by design. Zalo warned me that the Lolita series is meant to be a much softer experience. A toy for those who are not looking for the next Hitachi, but rather for someone who enjoys something much milder. However, even though they are tame, the vibrations are still top notch and possess a rumbly quality. For me, it was a great teaser toy. It was a nice way to warm up and was very enjoyable when used in tandem with a dildo. On its own however, the vibrations were too mild to bring me to an amazing orgasm… I did achieve an orgasm, one with a very slow build up and kind of a meh end. But I knew this would be the case, I wasn’t expecting a holy shit moment from this gentle little vibrator. I am a power queen, I like my Hitachi and Doxy and oh dear god the Sybian… but sometimes it is okay to slow down just a little bit and just kind of enjoy masturbating. And even with the sub-par orgasms, I still very much enjoyed using the Baby Heart. The silicone is heavenly against the skin and I found that it was a great toy for self-exploration, a toy that was nice to gently rub around my body, my nipples around my vulva… but in the end, it really lacks the oomph I want from a vibrator. The Baby Heart is relatively whisper quiet. No one outside your door should be able to hear this toy, even at its top speed, which should be appreciated by anyone looking for a more discreet vibrator… especially coupled with its innocent packaging, very few will guess you’ve got the world’s most adorable vibrator!
Operating the Baby Heart was a little confusing at first, I was thrown by it’s ‘stand by’ mode. When you push the middle ‘M’ button once it enters stand by mode… which I honestly haven’t sorted out why it exists (any guesses?) pressing it a second time will activation the vibrations. Continuing to press the middle button will cycle the vibrator through its eight preset patterns. The patterns are about what you would expect from a vibrator, nothing super novel or amazing. The arrow buttons on either side of the middle button control the toy’s intensity, press the left arrow to decrease the intensity and the right arrow to increase it. By my count there are five intensity levels all of which remain more on the rumbly side of things.
Oooh, ok so remember that stand-by mode I just mentioned… I think I just figured it out. The Zalo Baby Heart Vibrator is app compatible according to the website, so I am guessing that stand-by must have something to do with synching it to the app. However, I have yet to sort out where or how one downloads the app. I’ve tried searching for Zalo in the Apple app store with no luck and googling “Zalo sex toy app download” yielded me nothing… oh, hold on a minute, I spoke too soon… I scrolled to the bottom of Zalo’s website and found the link to the app download, hooray! I’m glad you were here to help me get through this, thanks reader. If you are too cool for links you can just search Zalo Remote and apparently it should pop up in both the Apple and Google Play store.
As one would expect with a luxury vibrator, the Zalo Baby Heart is rechargeable and comes with a USB charger. It comes pre-charged, which is awesome for impatient people like me, I can’t stand waiting for a new vibrator to charge! When it finally did come time for me to charge the Baby Heart I found myself staring at the toy and turning it around and around and around in my hands trying to figure out where the hell I plug the cable in at… seriously, I was dumbfounded by this toy… finally I busted out the trusty instruction manual and realized that the gold chain also acts like a plug. It needs to be unscrewed to reveal the charging port… so… there’s that bit of information for you in case you arrived at this review after searching “how do I charge my Zalo Baby Heart Vibrator?” There is a flickering light that indicates the toy is charging and is finished charging (after about 90 minutes) when the light remains constant. The middle button will blink rapidly when you have reached low battery, which is nice, I like to have a warning rather then having a toy just crap out on me in the middle of my important vulva business.
The Baby Heart is also waterproof, which means you can take it into the bathtub with you (which I haven’t done yet, but am meaning to try) and is also easy to clean under running water. Just make sure that you have screwed the chain/plug back in tight, when I screwed my chain back in after charging it was kind of wonky and not completely screw close, which thankfully I noticed before dunking it into any water to clean it, I’m not sure how much damage this would do to the toy, but better safe than sorry. Also, use water-based lubes to avoid damaging the silicone surface material.
The Zalo Baby Heart Vibrator is definitely swoon worthy. The functionality, the quality, the construction and the sheer beauty of this vibrator has left me completely wowed. It is a lovely toy and would be a great addition to any vibratoraholic’s collection (Hi, I’m Kitten and I’m a vibratoraholic… I own more vibrators than I can count). I think this would make a fabulous gift for Valentine’s Day, an anniversary, or even an amazing bridal gift! This is a great toy for someone who is looking to do some intimate self-exploration or for a couple looking for a toy that isn’t super intimidating. It is also a toy I would recommend to a beginner who doesn’t yet know what they want or someone who doesn’t want a ‘wild ride’ as the vibrations are pretty mid-level and tame. Definitely not a toy for anyone power hungry, you will probably be disappointed and unsatisfied.
But what you really should know about the Zalo Baby Heart is that I felt like a god damn princess pressing that adorable Baby Heart against my clit. A. God. Damn. Princess.
Can’t wait to get your hands on the Zalo Baby Heart? Can’t say I blame you, I can’t stop swooning over this thing. Pick one up directly from Zalo, shipping is very discreet (and standard shipping in the US is free), my toy arrived in a plain brown box and neither the package contents nor the website were not disclosed on box. Fantastic!
The Zalo Baby Heart Vibrator was provided to me free of charge by Zalo in exchange for my honest review.
