How we evaluated it
How it scores Our rating, metric by metric
- Ingredients & materials 40% of the rating 2 of 5
Trojan names only latex and a “silky smooth lubricant” and gives no ingredient list, and its own listings disagree on whether the lubricant is silicone or water-soluble, though it has no spermicide.
- Protection 15% of the rating 4 of 5
FDA’s database ties the Original name to clearance K071313, whose summary cites ASTM D3492 for contraception and STI prevention, and latex has the strongest STI evidence of any condom material.
- Independent testing 20% of the rating 3 of 5
A consumer lab screen found no organic fluorine in Trojan ENZ Classic, the same condom under its old name, but flagged Trojan Ultra Thin, and the only nitrosamine test, of a 2013 lot, found about 30 ppb, under the EU limit for children’s toys.
- Trust 10% of the rating 3 of 5
A 2024 PFAS class action over Ultra Thin was dropped in 2025 and a distributor, not Trojan, has an open recall, but the maker publishes no ingredients and says nothing on nitrosamines.
- Value 15% of the rating 5 of 5
About 51 cents a condom ($18.19 for 36), the lowest per-condom price of the condoms here.

What’s in it Every ingredient, in label order
- Latex (the page gives no further list)
- “Silky smooth lubricant” (an image caption says silicone; Target’s listing also says water-soluble)
Who tested it What each test found, and who paid for it
- Independent Mamavation and Environmental Health News (the site earns affiliate income) February 2024
Trojan ENZ Classic Reservoir End, the same condom under its old name, had no detectable organic fluorine, a PFAS marker, in one sample; Trojan Ultra Thin showed 13 ppm in one of two samples. Mamavation rated Trojan’s ingredient transparency “not 100%”. The raw lab data is members-only. Open ↗ (opens in a new tab)
- Maker’s own test Church & Dwight, with FDA review (510(k) K071313 summary) October 2007
The summary states conformance with ASTM D3492 and gives the use as contraception and “to help prevent pregnancy and the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases”. ISO 4074 is not named. Open ↗ (opens in a new tab)
- Independent Reproductive Health Technologies Project with the Center for Environmental Health (nonprofits; partly funded by founders of the rival condom maker Sustain) 2014
Trojan ENZ, this condom under its old name, lot TT3150XZ3 02 bought in December 2013, released 7 ppb NDMA, 19 ppb NDEA and 4 ppb NDBA, about 30 ppb of nitrosamines in all, under the EU’s 50 ppb limit for toys that go in a child’s mouth. Seven of the 23 condoms tested were over that limit. Open ↗ (opens in a new tab)
Who paid, and why it matters
- Independent The tester took no money from the maker for it: a consumer group, a journalist, a university or a regulator.
- Paid certification An outside lab or certifier tested or listed it, and the maker paid for that.
- Maker’s own test A lab report or certificate of analysis the maker commissioned and published.
A certification is a floor, not a verdict: it checks what its program checks and nothing else. We weigh tests by someone with no stake in the result most.
What people ask Worries raised online and elsewhere, and what we found
- What is in it?
- Trojan does not say. Its product page (opens in a new tab) lists “latex” and a “silky smooth lubricant”, an image caption says silicone, and Target’s listing says silicone in one place and “water-soluble” in a Q&A answer. Mamavation also rated its transparency “not 100%”. Compare LOLA, which names its latex, powder and lubricant.
- Does it contain PFAS?
- A 2024 Mamavation screen (opens in a new tab) found none in Trojan ENZ Classic, which Trojan says is now called Original, and 13 ppm in one of two samples of Trojan Ultra Thin. A proposed class action, Goodman v. Church & Dwight (opens in a new tab) (S.D.N.Y., September 2024), alleged PFAS in Ultra Thin from the plaintiff’s own lab test. The plaintiff dropped it in January 2025 after Church & Dwight moved to dismiss, so no court ruled on the claims.
- Is it free of nitrosamines?
- Trojan says nothing about them. The one test we found, a 2014 nonprofit study (opens in a new tab) of a lot bought in 2013, measured about 30 ppb released from Trojan ENZ (this condom’s old name), under the EU’s 50 ppb limit for toys that go in a child’s mouth; seven of the 23 condoms tested were over it. A 2005 German survey (opens in a new tab) of 32 condoms found releases from under 10 to 660 µg per kg, and a 2001 review (opens in a new tab) judged the cancer risk very low.
- Is there a recall?
- Not by the maker. FDA’s database lists a December 2025 recall by a distributor, Gold Star Distribution, of Trojan lubricated condoms and other products after rodent activity at its distribution center. It was still open in FDA’s data, and is about storage, not the condom’s design.
- Could I buy a spermicide version by mistake?
- Yes. Trojan also sells a spermicidal “Original” with a near-identical name. CDC says nonoxynol-9 is not recommended for STI or HIV prevention, so buy the box that does not say “spermicidal lubricant”.
- Is it for latex allergy?
- No. It is natural rubber latex. Trojan says polyurethane condoms suit the fewer than 1% of people who are allergic.
- Are influencers being paid to promote it?
- We found no affiliate or ambassador program linked from Trojan’s product page, and could not read Reddit or social media, so we cannot say.
Why we chose it What put it on our list
- 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.
- About 51 cents a condom at Target ($18.19 for 36), the lowest per-condom price of the condoms we list.
Trade-offs What to weigh before you buy
- 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, and the only test is of a 2013 lot (about 30 ppb, under the EU toy limit). 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 alleged that Trojan Ultra Thin condoms contain PFAS; it was voluntarily dismissed in January 2025, 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.
What to know Details worth knowing first
Trojan Original is the condom Trojan sold for years as ENZ: a straight-walled latex condom with a reservoir tip, 53 mm wide at the base, a lubricant and no spermicide. FDA cleared it to help prevent pregnancy and the transmission of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). CDC says that, used consistently and correctly, latex condoms are effective against HIV and lower the risk of several other STIs, and of herpes, syphilis and HPV where the condom covers the infected area. Of the methods in our birth control alternatives guide, condoms are the only one that also lowers STI risk.
It is on this list for its paper trail and its price. FDA’s databases tie the name to a clearance (K071313), and the summary cites ASTM D3492. At about 51 cents a condom at Target, it is the cheapest condom we list. A consumer lab screen found no PFAS marker in this condom, though it flagged Trojan’s Ultra Thin.
What it lacks is detail. Trojan’s page gives no ingredient list and no word on nitrosamines; the one outside nitrosamine test, from 2014, found this condom under the EU limit for children’s toys. LOLA answers both, on the maker’s word alone. One more thing to watch: Trojan sells spermicide versions of Original too. CDC does not recommend nonoxynol-9, so pick the box without it.
What we checked Each claim, and how sure we are of it
| What we checked | What we found |
|---|---|
| FDA-cleared Verified | FDA lists K071313 (Trojan-ENZ, Church & Dwight, October 2007). Its summary states conformance with ASTM D3492; ISO 4074 is not named. FDA’s listing database also lists Trojan Original under K092586, a 2010 clearance held by Innolatex (Thailand) for its latex condoms (letter and indication only). Trojan’s own page does not mention FDA or any standard. |
| Protection matched to the need Verified | Natural rubber latex. The FDA indication is contraception and “to help prevent pregnancy and the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases,” over the counter. CDC says consistent, correct use of latex condoms is effective against HIV and reduces the risk of chlamydia, gonorrhea, hepatitis B and trichomoniasis. For herpes, syphilis and HPV it reduces risk only where the condom covers the infected area. |
| Tested for nitrosamines Verified | Not stated by Trojan. A 2014 nonprofit test of a 2013 lot of Trojan ENZ found about 30 ppb released, under the EU limit for children’s mouth toys; nothing newer is published. |
| Ingredients listed Not verified | Not listed. The page says “latex” and “silky smooth lubricant”; an image caption says silicone. |
| No spermicide Maker’s claim | Trojan lists its spermicidal Original as a separate product, and Target’s page for this box says “Spermicide-Free.” Check the carton. |
| PFAS screen Not verified | Trojan makes no PFAS statement. Mamavation’s 2024 consumer lab test found no organic fluorine (flag: above 10 ppm) in Trojan ENZ Classic Reservoir End, the same condom under its old name (one sample), and flagged Trojan Ultra Thin at 13 ppm in one of two samples. Raw lab data is members-only. |
| Lawsuits Verified | Goodman v. Church & Dwight (Southern District of New York, No. 1:24-cv-06813) was filed on September 9, 2024. The complaint says an independent lab found organic fluorine in Trojan Ultra Thin condoms the plaintiff bought in October 2023, and it sought a class of Trojan condom buyers. Church & Dwight moved to dismiss on December 20, 2024. The plaintiff filed a notice of voluntary dismissal on January 24, 2025, and the docket shows the case closed on January 27, 2025, with no ruling on the claims. |
| Recalls and company Verified | Church & Dwight owns Trojan. FDA’s recall database has no manufacturer recall of this condom. One entry from December 2025 is a distributor’s recall of Trojan lubricated condoms and Magnum after rodent activity at its distribution center, still open in FDA’s data. |
What the labels mean
- Verified We opened an independent record that confirms it: a certifier’s listing, a regulator’s list or a lab report. It is linked under Sources.
- Maker’s claim The maker says so on its own page or label. We read it but found no independent record.
- Not verified We looked and could not confirm it, or the maker does not say. Treat it as unknown.
