I see a few other people have left reviews having the same struggles. Even though these are very adorable and extremely soft and comfortable, the material is very high-maintenance for sweatpants. I often have to wash and dry these at least two times (once I did it 4 times) to finally get all of the ...water marking out of them once they go through the dryer. You don't know where the water marking will end up... sometimes in the front and then you rewash and dry and then there's marking in the back and then you rewash and dry and then maybe just maybe the marking won't be there. As others have said, they dry with a tie-dye marble look which looks like water stains. The care directions are that they need washed inside out on gentle cycle and dried gentle on low heat. Even following these directions leaves unpredictable results. So disappointing and frustrating for a pair of sweatpants. I originally purchased these in both black and white, and I haven't had these issues with those colors. I then purchased them in the green and pink, and it's been a struggle. I wish I could go back and unpurchase these. :(
