I have another weird question that I would love to have you ladies weigh in on.

I have new pair of lounge pants. I need a tall, and have problems finding the right length. I have been looking for the style I like in my size for over a year-- my other options were marketed at teens and have words/pictures screen printed on the thighs or butt. At least these could be worn to-from the gym or out to the dog run without my neighbors wondering if I am a bum or a HS student ditching.

So far, I love them. Soft, I like the fit, ect. I have worn them maybe 10-12 times (for a few hours at a time) and washed them twice. After a few wears, I noticed that they are piling where my thighs rub together in the crotch. It isn't visible to others and isn't uncomfortable. They have a soft, almost fluffy hand, which is probably why they are piling.

Still, for almost $50, I am a little worried and disappointed. I was planning on purchasing more, since they are hard to find in the style and fit that I like.

Should I be concerned? Should I not order more? Should I see if there is some sort of return or recourse I can take?
