World's oldest condom

World's oldest condom.The world’s oldest surviving condom is now on display in an Austrian museum. It is now 366 years old.

The reusable condom dates back to 1640 and is completely intact, as is its original 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 and is one of 250 ancient objects related to sex on display at the Tirolean County Museum in Austria this summer.
