Bad vaginal odor only when I do these things ... plz help!

Hi everyone, I just signed up to this site and I apologize in advance if I'm posting this question in the wrong section.
I have 2 separate issues that I'm hoping to get answers for:

1) Vaginal Odor: I never have any odor down there and my discharge has no scent or a very faint smell that isn't bad at all. I use a feminine wash almost everyday and I always clean with water after using the bathroom (and dry with toilet paper of course), also there is no hair at all. When I masturbate with my hand there is usually a very mild scent that I actually like. The only times I smell a foul odor is during (and after) exercise and during (and after) using my vibrators. I only use the sex toys externally and I am a virgin. I wash and clean the toys immediately after and I always make sure they are dry before storing them.
I know that vaginal odor is a sign of a yeast infection but I was wondering if this is what I might have given that I almost never smell anything unless I do one of the things I mentioned, and I rarely do them as it is. Months could pass without me exercising or using the toys and there would be no smell whatsoever.
I know I should go to a gynecologist but I'm too embarrassed.

2) Sweat: In the past my sweat never smelled, especially if I have showered that day or the day before, but lately I've noticed that I start to sweat through my deodorant even if it was freshly applied (to clean, dry skin of course). Not only that, but my armpit sweat has a sort of moldy odor to it as well. I have always used men's deodorant and I still do, so I know it's strong enough. My diet hasn't changed one bit so I don't know what could be the cause of that and I don't know what kind of doctor I should go to regarding this problem.

Another thing, for the longest time the sweat on my body tasted weird. There would be no smell to it though, but now there is no taste whatsoever. Could it be related to the change in my armpit sweat?
Can I please have advice for all the issues I brought up or at least get guidance to what kind of specialist I should go to?

I know the questions about sweat aren't sex related but I didn't want to make too many posts. Sorry if I broke any rules.

Thanks in advance.

How old are you? As people pass through puberty, their body chemistry changes and what bacteria can grow on the moist areas of the skin also changes.

From my limited knowledge of vaginas, they can have a mild scent even when properly cleaned. Most guys who like giving oral will have no problem with this. I would suspect that a woman will not notice her own scent as long as it is not strong.

In men the changes that increase testosterone also allow strong smelling bacteria to flourish. Women also produce testosterone, but to a lesser degree.Your sweat may be milder than you think it is.
