Doesn't absorb waste or money disappointed

I have been searching for a crystal brand that worked for months. I started out with the cheaper brands Walmart and chewy they worked but didn't last I tried fresh step thinking for the cost it had to work better and I was willing to pay more for the quality I was WRONG. I don't understand how people can say this litter lasts 4-6weeks it has only been 2 weeks I have 1 cat and the smell of cat urine was unbearable and I scoop it a few time a day. The worst part when I go to scoop I notice there's urine liquid on the bottom of the littler box, like the crystals are water proof. I've never seen this with any other litter. I scoop up the litter and it's dripping off the crystals. I throw most away and have to dab up the liquid with paper towel its obviously not absorbing it either. You stir as it says and you can smell the fragrance and the urine together all it does it mask it. And it's so expensive you would think it would work longer than 2 weeks for 1 cat. $40 for 1 month of litter 😮😠. Easy to clean but I'd rather clean it then smell the urine. I wish I knew how other people had there's last for weeks does their cat not pee??
