World’s Oldest Condom

This is the oldest surviving condom in the world.

The reusable condom dates back to 1640 and is completely intact, as is its orginal users’ manual, written in Latin.

The manual suggests that users immerse the condom in warm milk prior to its use to avoid diseases.

The antique, found in Lund in Sweden, is made of pig intestine.
