Where are my bikinis?

Going on holiday Friday and I can't find my bikinis.
Checked every cupboard, suitcase and even my knicker drawer.
I remember washing in September as I started to get things together.

So if anyone is in Tenerife and sees a naked woman it's ME.
Will have to go shopping there as no time here.

I know exactly where they are but I'm not telling you because I'm jealous of someone going somewhere hot enough to need a bikini

Imfat · 28/10/2025 12:56

@didntlikeanyofthesuggestionsplease tell me.
I'm getting frustrated. I've even looked in places that I know they won't be.
Shopping in Tenerife will have to do

You might be able to get something at the airport? Enjoy your holiday!

SwayingInTime · 28/10/2025 12:59

I can't find any wetsuits anywhere!

Why not order something from Amazon today? It's not guaranteed that there will be anything in stock when you get there, after all - and if there is, it's likely to be hugely marked up to allow for those who forget or whose cases have gone on a magical mystery tour.

I reckon you almost washed them in September but decided to get new ones as they were stained with sun lotion! So, basically you threw them out.

Coffeeishot · 28/10/2025 13:18

Are they in somebody elses case or maybe a carrier/bag for life to keep in a safe place ?

Itsasecretnow · 28/10/2025 13:18

In the airing cupboard in a zipped mesh bag…

That is very specific 😀

Itsasecretnow · 28/10/2025 13:20

In a carrier bag shoved in the back of the wardrobe…under that pile of clothes on the chair/floor/treadmill that you’ve still not got round to deciding if they’re clean or dirty or if they fit you…

Well, I’m not saying I might’ve misplaced some bras once…🤭

😂 least you found them.

WhatIsTheCharge · 28/10/2025 13:22

Also came here to say probably in a bag for life in the back of the wardrobe!
That’s where I found mine when we were packing up our house to move to balmier shores!

Itsasecretnow · 28/10/2025 13:24

Coffeeishot · 28/10/2025 13:21

I could also add down the back of water tank in the airing cupboard after you dried them on top of…
I’m possibly not very good at the whole remembering thing 😁

With the beach towels and flip flops. Or packed away with the seasonal clothes. Or did you wash them and then your DH helpfully put them away balanced the pile precariously somewhere and they fell behind other stuff out of view

Imfat · 28/10/2025 14:43

@FairyintheforestDH thinks he put them away but can't remember where.
We live in a bungalow so not many places to hide. I'm beginning to think I put them in a charity bag and already taken to the shop. I've got the towels and sunhats.
We go Tenerife every November so I know what the shops will have in stock.
(DH thinks I just want to go shopping)
Thanks everyone for your suggestions.

Oh no, never mind means you can pick some up have a nice holiday.

Fairyintheforest · 28/10/2025 19:53

Could they be in with your DH's clothes? Hope you have a lovely holiday anyway and that you find the perfect bikini shop in Tenerife. Perhaps the old bikinis will turn up when you're back home that is sometimes how life goes isn't it.

I always say the best way to find anything you’ve lost is to buy a replacement and you can guarantee the old item will turn up within a couple of days 😄

TreadSoftlyOnMyDreams · 29/10/2025 13:14

Already in the suitcases in anticipation of your holiday?

Imfat · 29/10/2025 13:39

Our DD came this morning and she has searched again. Definitely not in the house.
Oh well shopping it is xx

Next have loads of bikinis available to order online with next day delivery. Saves you having to go shopping on the first day if your holiday.

bugalugs45 · 29/10/2025 14:53

I put mine back in the suitcase as never wear them at home

LlynTegid · 30/10/2025 16:50

Hope your shopping trip is successful OP and you can get the style and colour that you want.
