Paragon Originial Sculptseam Leggings

i bought two pairs of their Original Sculptseam leggings for $133…I know it’s a lot, but if they are good quality, I knew they’d last a long time. I thought they looked a little thin out of package, but most of their reviews have been really good that I have seen. Well, I put on a pair of black ones and what do you know, the first day of wear, they are already pilling and doing that thing that very cheap fabric does (second photo). They are absolutely not squat proof as I can see my hand through the fabric…Has anyone else had luck with them, or similar experience? i’m debating just sending back both of them because I know I can get two pairs of good lululemon for same price that will actually last. One red flag I’ve noticed, is there seems to be no way for me to actually leave a review on them on the website🙄 I learned my lesson, but I feel so dumb for falling for it!!! Don’t be like me and stay away from these unless you can get them heavily discounted!!!
