<p>So I’ve recently noticed that my jeans don’t last very long, usually after about a year or so a rip starts to appear in my inner thighs. My jeans aren’t too tight, I usually need a belt unless I’ve just washed them, but they aren’t very loose either. This seems to happen with a lot of different brands, including Levis, American Eagle, Hollister, etc. And I rotate between 2 to 4 jeans at a time.</p>
<p>I was just curious if this was normal or not? It sucks because I basically have to buy a new set of jeans every year, which is starting to get kind of expensive.</p>
<p>I buy my jeans at Wal-Mart, but I haven’t bought any in the last three years or so.</p>
<p>The length of my legs haven’t changed much. I still have jeans from middle school I can wear that are in good condition and I use jeans all the time (I’m 5’9"-5’10"). </p>
<p>Last I checked jeans were $20 or less.</p>
<p>I don’t think it’s normal for you to buy jeans every year.</p>
<p>I’ve had mine since 8th grade and I’m in 11th now. I got them at JcPenny’s on sale for $8 each.
Hmmmm I’m not sure why yours are ripping so fast, are they cotton, or the jegging material?</p>
<p>It might have to do with your weight, not the jeans. Friction is the reason why your jeans are ripping at the inner thigh level.</p>
<p>Also, you have to take care of your jeans as well. Washing them isn’t really the best idea - especially if you own designer name brand jeans (7FAM, True Religion, etc). You have to maintain the quality of your jeans if you really want to keep them forever. </p>
<p>Wash them inside out if you’re using a washer. Darks. Cold water. Dry them inside out as well. Also, pay attention to the tag as how to wash them. Some jeans are hand wash and hang dry only. </p>
<p>Personally, I don’t ever wash my jeans and only throw them into the dryer (inside out). </p>
<p>The more you wear your jeans, the more they’ll form to your shape. However, washing them badly will ruin their shape and make them baggy and all stretched out.</p>
