Jabon De Cuaba is a soap used to get rid of the stank from your vagina or your ass because its strong antibacterial properties allow for it. Note: people who do not like the bar version can use it in liquid form, which is more glamorous. (In the Dominican Republic, this laundry soap is culturally used for personal hygiene and to treat intense body odors).
When you are going to use Jabon De Cuaba, you first have to check that it does not have hairs from whoever showered before you; second, that it is not turning white because they might have dropped it in the toilet and fished it out like that; third, that it is not gnawed on since mice eat soap; and last, that it does not have dirt or other things stuck to it, because you will feel like you showered with a coarse scouring pad.
