To protect themselves from STDs, the Ancient Egyptians used cobra skins molted to form condoms.
In ancient Japan, condoms were made from tortoise shells or animal horns.
The 16th-century Italian gynaecologist Gabriele Falloppio advocated the use of condom use to prevent the spread of disease. Fallopia claimed to have tested it on 1100 men, none of whom became infected.
The oldest condoms ever found date back to the 1640s (they were found in a cesspit at Dudley Castle) and were made from animal and fish guts.
The Italian Giacomo Casanova (1725-1798), described his experience with condoms which he named 'English overcoats'. By Casanova's time, condoms were made from sheep, calf or goat intestine, or fish skin. They were hand sewn and relatively expensive.

The Durex company was founded in 1929 in the United Kingdom. It was originally called London Rubber Company, but it was renamed Durex in 1932. The Durex brand was first used for a line of condoms, but it has since expanded to include a wide range of other sexual wellness products.
Durex is an acronym for DURability, REliability, and EXcellence.
The 1976 Formula One season, made famous in the movie Rush, was not televised in Britain because one of the teams was sponsored by condom maker Durex. The BBC deemed it "unacceptable for family viewing."
During the Gulf War, the British shipped 500,000 camouflage condoms to troops in Saudi Arabia—to protect their guns from filling with sand.
In March 2010, the Swiss government announced that it was planning to promote smaller condoms intended for boys of 12–14 years old following concern about the pregnancy rate among adolescent girls, and also about the potential spread of AIDS among this age group.
Malaysia's Karex makes one in every five condoms. They are marketed internationally by brands such as Durex.
The Ramses brand condom is named after the great Pharaoh Ramses II who fathered over 160 children.
The term "scumbag" originally meant "condom."
In 2008, Carl Mosca Dionisio strung together 18,500 latex condoms and used them to bungee jump from a 100-foot tower.
The 2 % failure rate for Condoms means that for every 100 couples using them for one year, two will get pregnant and not two times per 100 intercourses.
Nearly 96% of high schools in France have condom vending machines.
