"The history of condoms goes back at least several centuries, and perhaps beyond. For most of their history, condoms have been used both as a method of birth control, and as a protective measure against sexually transmitted diseases. Condoms have been made from a variety of materials; prior to the 19th century, chemically treated linen and animal tissue (intestine or bladder) are the best documented varieties. Rubber condoms gained popularity in the mid-19th century, and in the early 20th century major advances were made in manufacturing techniques." (Wikipedia).
The cultural appropriation I had in mind was the Spinifex resin which apparently has been used by the indigene for many dream times.

If the invention does prove a winner, just sit back and wait for the inevitable cries of cultural appropriation or whatever.

I think condoms are generic enough nowadays that no one would consider improving them to be cultural appropriation.
I’m not even sure who invented them, are you?
