The harder and longer you play, the faster they wear out. When they start to wear out they will either fall out or give slippy binds.

They should actually last you quite some time. I have a set in a yoyo that I play often and its been over two months. Dif’s, Duncan stickers, kentaros and others do wear out fast but k-pads don’t.
