The earliest prophylactics were typically made from catfish and sturgeon bladders, and used until the 19th century. Cleaned, split and dried lamb intestines were also popular. Since neither material is very elastic, such early condoms had to be secured to the penis with a ribbon. They were also expensive. After each use, the condoms were washed, carefully dried, and rubbed with oil and bran to prevent cracking.
