A condom (1640 CE) made from 'Pig Intestines', was found during archaeological excavations in city of Lund, Sweden. It is considered as the oldest specimen of condom in the world.
It came with a user manual that instructed guys to dip it in unboiled milk, before use to avoid diseases when sleeping with prostitutes. It's also reusable, washed and again placed (soaked) in a bowl of unboiled milk for 6-8 hours, then used again.
