If my deodorant doesn't work, should I use it more often or switch the brand?

this is also not really a normal thing to do, but I tried trimming my armpit hair and had a huge reduction in sweat marks and BO immediately

Trimming arm pit hair isn’t uncommon. Depends on the hair growth.

Another tip is to wipe down your armpits with anti bacterial wet wipes once every few weeks. It kills the bacteria on your skin and resets the biome. You'll notice you won't stink for a couple of days afterwards even without using deodorant. And once it comes back, it isn't as bad or it smells a different way that your deodorant will be more effective.

Why is this not a normal thing to do? I have huge bushes when I don't trim. I know many people who trim. It's just like any other body hair, it needs to be trimmed if it gets out of control.

Worked great for me too. I used to stink and sweat constantly. Then I started shaving my pits. Now I rarely use deodorant and never stink or sweat much unless I am exercising or playing a sport.
