To ask for DDs bikini back?

Last weekend we got the big pool out in our joint section of garden and filled it for the kids who use it.

Neighbours daughter who is 2 years older than my DD asked me if she could borrow a swimming costume.

She's quite a bit bigger and taller than DD so my only option was to lend her a new bikini I'd bought for holiday. Which my DD has only worn once and is from a decent shop.

I just assumed hers was in the was probably something.

It's now a week later and neighbours child still in my DDs bikini today in the pool.

I feel awkward asking for it back but angry really as I shouldn't be the one feeling awkward.

It's a light colour and I feel like it's now gone from being new to my DD going on holiday with a "used" bikini. Which may well be stretched too.

Should I just write it off as a lesson learned or shall I ask for it back?

It wasn't really a child who was going to be left out tho was it?? It's a far older, bigger child who gets together with another older child and makes your DD feel like $hit!! Shes wearing the bikini to get at your DD for a laugh. Tell her it was a loan. You want it back, then bin it. In front of her. Sounds like your DD needs new people to hang around with. And you need to not give out her things!!

I just can’t understand the amount of people who are aghast at wearing a bikini someone else has had on. Unless your vagina secretes sulphuric acid, there’s absolutely nothing unhygienic about wearing it after someone else, provided it’s been in the wash. No wonder we have overflowing landfill sites when people are so silly about things like this.

Agree all you've got to do is put it on a hot wash and put some disinfectant or soda crystals in there.
