The Icicles no. 30 is a recent addition to Pipedream's line of Icicles toys. It's designed with dual-stimulation in mind, with a long insertable shaft and a small tentacle-shaped clitoral stimulator. It's compatible with any lube, although I usually use water-based, and it's completely body safe, since it's made of pyrex glass.

It holds temperature very well after being placed in hot or cold water, and it's very smooth, so it doesn't irritate my skin the way some rougher silicone does (like the kind on Fun Factory's G4 line). Also, it's very easy to clean with soap and water or toy wipes, and you can also sterilize it very easily by wiping it down with a 10% bleach solution.

The 30 comes in a very well-padded Styrofoam box, like all the other Icicles toys, but I'm still a little irked that it doesn't come with a more permanent storage bag since the box is pretty big. It's also not remotely discreet, since it has a picture of the toy on the front, and it opens up to a plastic cut-out so you can see the toy inside.

The 30 has three ridges on the insertable portion meant for g-spot stimulation, and the clitoral end has two rows of teeny little circles pressed into the glass like tentacle suckers. I found that the only portion of the top arm that reached my clit was the very end, but the loop between them makes the toy very easy to hold.

Unfortunately, I just can't endorse the 30, because the shape just doesn't work for me at all. The shaft feels very uniform and thin, and I can't feel the ridges very much, and unfortunately I just don't see a clitoral attachment made out of glass being very effective since it's not flexible. Also, because it's glass, I can't thrust the toy very quickly, or the clitoral portion would be very uncomfortable. The concept of this toy is fabulous, sort of like the older sister of the no. 24 with its pink color and tentacle motif, but I just don't think it works.
