But the most effective in those days were the chemical and barrier methods presented lemon juice and wads of cotton. Condoms USSR arrived from America and Germany, changed the views of the Soviet man in the relationship between men and women.

In what year were condoms

Officially, the barrier rubber products began to produce and implement in pharmacies, with the 1855 market. In the 60 years of the 19th century, people mastered curing technology, which allows to produce soft, elastic rubber products. A lot of controversy and negative thoughts expressed in favor of the former official means of contraception, barrier-type, but according to statistics, 45% of American women have used this method to prevent conception.

Of sexually transmitted infections, pregnancy 100% guarantee means no give - often torn. Sold the first condoms in bars, pharmacies, hairdressers - contraceptive has been available without restriction. In the USSR, the new imported product worked speculators.

After 35 years, the market appeared more reliable means of contraception. This is a subtle and seamless condom made of rubber, with a shelf life of 3 months. Its use has led to a decline in the incidence of sexually transmitted diseases, although the church and the public criticized the product, considering it immoral. Promoted faithfulness and self-control.

This invention allowed the latex to produce reliable, thin and durable condoms, won universal popularity, especially in the US. By 1920, a review of the benefits and effectiveness of contraceptives has changed, it was positioned in 10 years as a drug. In America in the 30s we developed a position on the inspection of each product for durability and reliability.

The next 60 years old condoms underwent evolution. Changing legislation, the opinions of people subjected to medical research.

The condom has become a mandatory attribute of the sexual life of men and women. Today the barrier contraceptive popular and in demand, as birth control pills and spirals.

When there were condoms in Russia

Rubber products have appeared in Russia in the 30s of the last century, even before the formation of the USSR. Together with them, the sellers offered contraceptives from the bladder of animals and large fish. Products sold several pieces, wrapped in paper and ensure strength and reliability. Before the revolution, condoms - products of foreign origin, were expensive and were available to the upper classes.

Who invented the condom

The prototype of the modern seamless barrier contraceptive appeared in Germany in 1912. The invention belongs to the German chemist and Julius Fromm entrepreneur. Inventor in 1916 patented a new product launched in the mass market. The production technology was to use the liquid rubber with benzene and gasoline. This made it possible to extract from the special form thin seamless contraceptives.

In Germany, the new product is officially allowed to sell in a single package through a network of pharmacies. Unofficially, the contraceptive called "Fromm." Soon articles began to sell in Denmark, Poland, the Netherlands and other European countries.

State support products are not received for a long time, as the authorities in Germany and other countries have been concerned about the issue of fertility decline. Therefore, in advertising contraceptive emphasizes its hygienic benefits and no mention of protection from unwanted pregnancy.

After the Second World War, the factory equipment that produced condoms Kopeniki, were transported to the Soviet Union. Today, condoms can be bought with history under the name «Mapa», a brand owned by the descendants of Julius Fromm.

What used to be a condom

In Europe, first condoms were linen bag garter suitable for repeated use. This invention belongs to the French doctor Gabriel Fallopian which presented the product as a defense against the "French disease." In the middle XVI century in Europe, thousands of people have died from the epidemic of syphilis. Fallopian tested its product for 1100 patients and claimed that none of them was infected with syphilis.

At that time, the condom has become very popular, but it was expensive, so they could use the rich and well-informed people. Gradually, like contraception and protection from disease spread throughout Europe. These were the products treated in solution of vinegar and other preservatives that are suitable for multiple applications. We used them male and female.

What it was made first contraceptive

The first barrier methods of contraception have appeared in ancient Greece, BC. They are mentioned in the works of ancient scholars and historians. Ancient condoms pouches were made from the intestines of domestic animals or bladders. They tie the penis special ropes or tape. contraceptive method gave a small percentage of protection, since it is often torn or falling.

Important! In China and Japan prototype condom were silk bags made of thin fabric, successfully protect women from pregnancy.

Later, people come to soak contraceptives acetic or citric solution to increase protection from conception. The acidic environment partially immobilize and kill sperm.

Condoms in the Soviet Union

Condoms in the USSR were not popular and sought-after commodity. There are two reasons:

1. First for the bad quality of the products, they were made of a rigid non-elastic rubber.
2. The second - the lack of spermanakopitelya, giving inconvenience to the man during intercourse.
