The revolution of condoms

18th century, a turning point in the use of condom manufacturing materials took place. Instead of using materials such as linens, it was known to use rubber to make bags. Rubber is chosen because it has good elasticity and has the ability to keep semen better, not to get into the partner's vagina like previous condoms.

In the 1930s, a new material was found to replace rubber in the production of condoms, rubber latex. Latex is better than rubber in efficiency and durability. This material is still in use until now.
