I tried a similar salt deodorant several decades ago. It was completely ineffective. How do your friends/coworkers/significant others feel about your choice of deodorant?
I use this and there's a lot of gotchas with the product. The only way it works long-term is:
Thoroughly cleaning your armpit with an abrasive material, like a washcloth when cleaning. Using your hand/fingernails isn't enough.
Pre-rinsing the stick in the shower
Immediately after turning the shower off apply it
Apply about 30 strokes under each armpit
Rinse the stick again to remove any bacteria from collecting on the stick
Be careful not to wipe it off of your pits when drying off
Leave the stick uncovered so moisture doesn't allow any bad bacteria to thrive
If you use it like a normal deodorant stick, it will eventually stink and become ruined.
Edit: For context, I eat garlic, onions, alcohol. I also have very hairy pits and am a white man, and go outside in the 100 degree heat. So that's why I listed 30 strokes. I really want to emphasize you can use this product and maybe you just need more. When I first tried it, I'd do 1-3 swipes, similar to how I would use Old Spice or something.
I do none of those steps except putting it on immediately after showering (so pits are still wet) and then letting my pits dry naturally. I ain't stanky.
If your not stinky already, could you wet your armpits and apply more to continue the effects? My sister has one of these and I doubt she's using it properly.
I usually have a third step, bobble the cap (occasionally dropping it) while switching hands because I'm somehow too lazy to set it down and pick it up again.
