If your buttons are only lasting several months, you need to do something different. You might try doing it yourself, using a heavy duty thread. The thread described above by @patrick_b sounds as if it will do the job. The polyester blend will be stronger than the 100% cotton. Also creating a shank takes much of the stress off of the thread at the button. The link below tells how to sew on buttons.
You will get a neater presentation by keeping the thread in the recessed grooves as explained by @patrick_b above
