As part of being human, people “make love” with each other. And with this, to prevent unplanned pregnancy and to prevent infections, many are using condoms.
Condoms are made from different kinds of materials like latex, lambskin, polyurethane, or even non-latex natural rubber. According to About, today, most of these condoms sold in stores have spermicides on them already.
The use of condoms, according to Madehow, reportedly started in Egypt in 1350 B.C. But, the first ever recorded manufacturing of condoms was on 1883 by the Schmid Laboratories in the U.S. led by its owner, Julius Schmid.
