How many bikinis do you take on holiday?

Just wondering really after my mum commented that "surely 3 is too many for a week's holiday". I thought I was being quite contained!

1, and that probably won't see the light of day!

Several coats and fleeces though.

North Wales, here we comeGrin

"I'd be interested in the nork size to no of bikinis relationship."

I have one bikini and two swimsuits and am an A cup. I don't understand why anyone would need a different piece of swimwear for each day of a holiday. Maybe it is because I don't holiday in "fashionable" destinations, and the type of people who holiday where we do don't tend to view swimwear as a fashion item, but rather more as something to wear to sunbathe or swim and then cover up when they want to leave the pool/beach.

I like sunbathing and swimming, but not all day every day.

I own about 35 but only take 14. I just love them and buy a few every year. I have everything from fitted cup ones to bandeau and string ones.

Fortunately I fit in standard high st ones so mine are anything from a tenner to 40quid ish for a naice one Wink

I probably own 15 (30c although only two are actual cup size, rest just standard size 8) collected over the years, typically stick I the same good'uns though. Going away with my man for the first time so chosen the ones to amplify my (crap) cleavage.

I don't even own 15 bras never mind bikinis!!!

I take 3 bikinis for a two week holiday. Wear one each day and then start again. We have an apartment though with a full kitchen, so all our swim stuff is washed every day.

2 for a week.

I've found it a nightmare to find 2 that fit my boobs in safely, really don't want to have to shop again to find more. Besides it will be hot, hot, hot so can wear one while other is drying.

36C/D - bikinis at the moment are cheap one from M&S as I put on 3stone in about 6 months after being made redundant (and lots of home issues going on at the same time). One+ stone off, two stone to go Smile

dh is worried I'll lose my "attributes" Wink

32DD - I own about 30/35 bikinis, but obviously don't take them all away for a week. Although that turned out to be a mistake last year as I had a bikini emergency and I had to buy a new one while on holiday.

  1. I have to buy the bra-sized ones, which are both £££, and generally hideous, so I don't have many. If I were the size that meant I could buy them in Accessorize/Topshop/Primark, I'd have one for every day too.

Going on holiday for 2 weeks soon, have 9 think I might get another Grin

flowwithit · 22/07/2012 21:48

I take 4 for a 2 wk holiday. Not all new though probably buy 2 new ones each year if we have a holiday booked.
