They have been made of tortoiseshell and horn. They have been made of the finest silk and the coarsest leather. They have been made of pigs’ bladders and sheep’s intestines. They have been made of rubber (natural and synthetic). They have been made of plastic. But none of these has quite fitted the bill.
It seems that at least five research teams are working on creating a better condom. Some of the researchers are funded by Bill Gates through his foundation.

You need to turn off the laugh effect for that to work.
condom (n.)
1706, traditionally named for a British physician during reign of Charles II (a story traceable to 1709), but there is no evidence for that. Also spelled condam, quondam, which suggests it may be from Italian guantone, from guanto "a glove." A word omitted in the original OED (c.1890) and not used openly in the U.S. and not advertised in mass media until November 1986 speech by Surgeon General C. Everett Koop on AIDS prevention. Cf. prophylactic. link

Some are silk and some are leather.

Piano Men are keyed to Michelle Pfieffer's line of undergarments, the Fabulous Bakers, which polishes wood like nothing else can, lifting the grain beyond measure.
...lifting the grain beyond measure.
...like a grain elevator, filled to the bursting with seeds of harvest.

Police: If You're Carrying Condoms, You Might Be a Hooker
@Lem: Note the modal verb, "might"
There "should" be other objective indicia such as wads of cash and herpetic lesions.
Are you volunteering as a tester?
Herpetic legions - long may Hillary's supporters thrive and continue sharing their legacy.
Get back to me when they're using carbotitanium.
Hey, nano tubes are a thousand times bigger than pico tubes, just sayin'.
Yotta yotta yotta...
The problem is not the condoms, the problem is the uncircumcised dicks!
