3.5 mm headphones, how to make them last longer?

Hi, having a problem with 3.5mm headphones. It seems like within 2 weeks to a month of using them, the connection between the headphone cord and the place where they go into the headphone jack gets weaker and weaker. Usually this is accomponied by the loss of sound in one of the ears, or being forced to turn the connection in the jack a certain way to get both channels. I'm not sure what causes this problem, but no one else in my family seems to be having it, even with the cheap $1 headphones because they are able to last them for several months or more before  losing audio. I can tell when this is in danger of happening by the cord slowly leaving the place where you insert it into the jack. I want to know either why this is happening or how to prevent it. I was thinking about maybe taping the two together with duct or packing tape while they were working but not sure if that would affect the audio or even help secure the connection.
