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?

Fab thread. Zebra my ds has 8 pairs - bought in one giant pack from Woolworths.
I've got loads of knix but probably not 70. Do wear black knix during period but definitely not big ones - remind me too much of my mum's pants.
Very recent convert to thongs, strings etc, although always concerned that my bum looks gargantuan without any material over it.

are we talking pants for every day wear, or pants that should have been thrown out ages ago but which are still in the drawer for when the washing doesn't get done? if the former, about 15, I think. I'd count them, but the washing hasn't been done lately.

Im defense of my spider pants, I read somewhere that on average you eat about 3 spiders in a lifetime whilst sleeping as they crawl into your mouth. I figured if they can crawl in your mouth then other open orifices are a free for all also. And they like warm, dark places .................

12 pairs black briefs from M&S - they get thrown out when they get a hole in the front seam (no I don't know why) and replaced en masse. M&S have changed the way they make them, so distressingly the newest ones melt when ironed.
8 pairs of raunchy ones, plus some bras that don't actually match but which I love to wear with my raunchy knicks - eg purple leopardskin and black pvc.
I also have a lovely rubber bustier - anyone ever worn anything like this post baby?? I digress...sorry

at rubber bustier SW! Where did you buy it?
I recently bought a beautiful black satin corset from a proper corsetmaker which was gorgeous, but impossible to wear with my somewhat spaniel-eared bosoms (thanks kids!). They just squidged up like concertinas. Still, it did give me a lovely waist. I returned it in the end as I knew I'd never wear it and it was horrifically expensive!

went through a phase(!) while living in Bristol spacemonkey....there was this ace shop called Religion. It was a shop for fetishists, bondage enthusiasts and trannies (I wasn't really any of the above, just liked the gear). It was a fab place to go for changing room flattery from the superbly camp assistants who would say I looked scrumptious in silver leather miniskirts and thigh high lace up pvc boots (I didn't). I ended up with quite a bit of stuff but can't see much of it getting an airing any more!
