Repeated blown crotches are the result of poor fitting pants.

I have to use extra tough work pants. Let me put it this way, Carhart hard use clothing last me at best 3-6 months for a $120 pant. I finally got some good pants made in Finland, and I ordered some in my usual size. I found out really fast that they didn't last either. I spoke to the importer and he told my that my waist size was wrong and my inseam was wrong. He got me to order one size smaller in each, and my problems were solved. Now, I get 1-1.5 years out of a pair of pants.

Jeans last me a matter of days, regardless of brand.

Maybe find a set you like and try a different size than you normally wear. Smaller waist also means smaller waist-crotch ratio. If the crotch hangs too low, when you bend or move the pants pull in ways they weren't designed to and aren't capable of without breakage.
