How many pairs of knickers do you own?

This is actually in the context of, how many pairs of knickers do you reckon a 2.5-3.5yo girl needs? If anyone wants to answer that question, too.
So I just did a count, and I reckon I have about 20 pairs of knix for me, but presumably I don't need that many for DD?

Funny story - friend's mother bought some knicks in the M&S sale, then when the friend went round her Mum said "ooh, I've got something to show you..I bought some knickers in M&S and half of them are missing, I'm going to take them back."
Yes, they were thongs. Size 20!

I have loads of pairs of pants. Mainly thongs from M&S or La Senza, aslo the obligatory period pants and, much to dh's amusment about 10 pairs of 'spider pants'. So called spider pants cause I sleep naked but have to wear pants (full proper belly whacking ones)to stop spiders crawling into my doo-dah!

I have to wear 'big pants' these days .... comfort is much more important to me now that old age is setting in. I think I've got about a dozen 'decent' pairs and half a dozen 'period' pairs - 'decent' pairs get relegated to 'period' pairs every now and then when I feel like buying new 'decent' pairs.
dd (3 and 2 days) has about 15 pairs but refuses to wear any that aren't pink (which is most of them!)

I have lots of pairs too small to wear, cos with being immobile most of last year I've gone up from 14 to 16.
Struggled to keep wearing them, but gave in about 3 weeks ago and bought 2 five-packs of 16's at M&S.
Won't throw away my old ones yet tho', want to try to get back into them. Still got about 6 pairs of jeans/cords I can't wear too. Right now I live in joggers, I have 1 pair of 16 jeans and a pair of elastic waist veloury type black trousers, soo depressing right now.
Oh, sorry, ds has 10 pairs, bought in a pack from M&S. I can't do with less, cos getting washing organised isn't my thing
