Q: i hold my pee in because of the way that it feels but sometimes i tend to leak myself and now when i start washing my vaginal area it smells like urine, how can i get rid of the smell?

: Due to close proximity of the urethra opening and the vagina the area will for sure smell urea (the substance in urine makes that smell). You have to avoid holding urine otherwise overflow incontinence will occur. You can wash the genital area with a mild soap but the most important task is avoiding urine leak.
