Trojan (condoms)
Trojan is a brand name of condoms and sexual lubricants manufactured by the Church & Dwight Company. Trojan condoms were started by Merle Leland Youngs in the 1910s after he moved to New York City. The major condom manufacturer before Youngs was Julius Schmid, who had made condoms from animal intestines starting in the 1880s.

Many pharmacists were reluctant to sell sex-related products so consumers often purchased condoms in secret in the backrooms of bars. As of 2006, 70.5 percent of condoms purchased in United States drugstores are Trojan brand. Brand history Trojan condoms were first manufactured in 1916 by Merle Leland Youngs through his company Fay and Youngs, renamed Youngs Rubber Corporation in 1919. Youngs Rubber ...
