Trojan Original Lubricated Latex Condoms

• FDA’s 510(k) database lists clearance K071313 for Trojan-ENZ (decided October 26, 2007). Trojan says ENZ is now called Original, “the same classic condom,” and FDA’s listing database shows “Trojan Original” under the same number.
• The clearance summary says the design conforms to ASTM D3492, the US standard for rubber condoms, and gives the use as contraception and “to help prevent pregnancy and the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases.”
• Target’s listing says “Spermicide-Free.” CDC’s 2021 STI guidelines say condoms with nonoxynol-9 are no more effective than condoms without it, and that N-9 is not recommended for STI or HIV prevention. WHO’s 2012 lubricant note says spermicides, mainly N-9, have significant irritant effects and are not recommended.
• About 51 cents a condom at Target ($18.19 for 36), the lowest per-condom price of the condoms we list.

• Trojan’s page lists no ingredients. It names the lubricant only in an image caption (silicone), and Target’s listing contradicts itself: silicone in the description, “water-soluble” in a Q&A answer.
• Trojan says nothing about nitrosamines. For context, a 2005 German survey of 32 condoms found releases from under 10 to 660 µg per kg, and a 2001 review judged the cancer risk from condom nitrosamines very low.
• A proposed class action filed in September 2024 (Goodman v. Church & Dwight, Southern District of New York) alleged that Trojan condoms contain PFAS; the plaintiff’s own purchase and lab test were of Trojan Ultra Thin. He voluntarily dismissed it in January 2025, after Church & Dwight moved to dismiss, so no court ruled on the claims. In Mamavation’s 2024 consumer test, Ultra Thin showed 13 ppm organic fluorine in one of two samples, while Trojan ENZ Classic, the condom now called Original, showed none.
• Trojan also sells a spermicidal “Original” with a near-identical name, so buy the box that does not say “spermicidal lubricant.” This one contains natural rubber latex and is not for latex allergy; see SKYN Original.
