I haven't been using mine very long, but I haven't noticed them getting pilly. They are definitely not quite as soft as brand new, but still very nice and soft. I probably wouldn't have even noticed the difference except that I just got a brand new one the other day and thought to myself, "wow, that is soft!"
I bought a used newborn blueberry. It is pretty soft, not as soft as the new ones. It is also pretty pilly.

Me= 37 and DH = 41
Dx: DOR, Endo, APA+ (really high beta 2 glycoprotein antibody and high everything else tested), heterozygous MTHFR mutation, positive for lupus anticoagulant, high FSH, low AMH and both tubes blocked (per HSG on 3/8/11)
IVF #1 - long lupron (with HGH, intralipids, lovenox and BA); 4 retrieved, 3 fertilized; ET 2 blasts and 1 frozen = BFN
IVF #2 - a version of antagonist with EPP (with HGH, intralipids, lovenox and BA); 6 retrieved, 4 mature, 3 fertilized, 2 blasts and 1 frozen blast transferred on day 5 = BFN.
IVF #3 April was postponed to May, May was canceled. June/July was canceled. Had a cyst aspiration and then began IVF #3 in August. ER on 8/22; ET on 8/24 with AH. +HPT on 9/5. Beta #1 (11dpo) = 3; Beta #2 (15dpo) = 29; Beta #3 (17dpo) = 60; Beta #4 (19 dpo) = 118. Heartbeat at 6 weeks 6 days =132. Lil is here!
Mine didn't. I bought two, one OS and one NB. I haven't prepped the NB and compared to the prepped and used it isn't nearly as soft, however, it isn't pilly. I like them alot and they're really cute but they do run kind of small, IMO.
I will say that their customer service has always been stellar. The soaker on the BB OS fitted had a flaw (a small hole from a flaw in the material). I called them, sent the picture they requested and they sent a new one right out.
