How much do you pay for yours?

I need to replace two bikinis this year and have just received my order from Simply Beach (I ordered three because I wasn't sure of sizing/styles). Two are a lovely fit but they are £60 each.

Last year I had seen some really nice swimwear - Sea Folly in Fenwicks and it was ££ and I couldn't justify parting with my money although I did find an acceptable Nautica one in TK Maxx for about £24.

Am I out of sync with prices?

Previous bikinis are about 5 years old and were about £30/£35 from M&S.

Well, my favourite bikini was from Tesco.... Can't remember exact price, but around £10 :(

Yeah, but you are probably a slinky slim kinda girl and it doesn't matter how little or how much they cost as they will always look nice

Me... I am a short arse and really need to watch my weight (could look at a cream cake and I will put a pound on) and I need swimwear that a) covers my arse and b) holds up my saggy boobs

Ok, boring subject I know...

I just ordered two for my holiday, £45 each 'cos I have to buy proper bra sized bikinis.

I have one from asos that was £25 and I thought that was a lot for something that goes bobbly, have you tried surfdome? They had some seafolly ones

I have often paid £50 for a bikini from Bravissimo or Figleaves. I cringed the first time but tbh I would rather be wearing something that fits properly and accommodates my boobs than spend a fortnight worrying about wobbly bits falling out.

If I was a size 10 and toned I might be able to get away with a cheapy one but they weren't designed for those of us that need 'support'. Also, given that you probably wear them every day for a fortnight I probably get a better £/wear than some of my other holiday clothes.

Thanks ladies.

I don't think I have ever had a bikini that has gone bobbly wishiwas. I will have a look at Surfdome though, thanks for that.

bean, I don't have large boobs as such, they are just imo saggy and I like a bit of uplift.
