Worrying for my area's health

Well,  I'm 16 years old and virgin.  My questions sound really silly but I totally need to know the answers. First of all,  does a healthy area have a specific colour? Secondly can others smell your area's smell? And finally,  I can use a tampon even though I'm virgin,  can't I?

sometimes others can smell your odors. easy way to prevent this is to take showers regularly, and keep clean underwear on. I personally wasnt to aware of my hygiene and the fact that I smell, until my boyfriend pointed it out. now I take major steps into making sure I smell fresh. but there are some types of odors to be aware of. fishy odors for example, if you're experiencing fishy odors I would recommend ducheing. only do it once a month or so. because it really does break down your pH levels.

yes! you can totally use a tampon, I've been using a tampon since I started. after loosing my virginity, I seemed to have to go from a slim tampon size to a regular.
