Peace be upon you.
Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei and Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may Allah protect them):
The mere presence of a smell does not indicate the presence of urine, especially in the absence of wetness. Therefore, unless you are certain that urine has exited while wearing the underwear, it is not considered impure. Even if some moisture has come out and you are unsure whether it is urine or something else, and you have performed the purification process, you can consider it pure.
May you be successful in all good.
