How many bikini's is too many?

I'm going to Crete in mid June for 2 weeks for my first ever holiday abroad with my DH and 3.5yo DS. I've read that the temperature is on average 26-30°C. So I'm figuring that I'll be spending a lot of time in my swimwear. I wouldn't normally wear a bikini as I'm 39 and used to feel very self conscious of my body. However, I'm now at the point where I don't give a shit what people think of what I'm wearing and how I look wearing it. My question is how many bikini's would you take in my position? I've currently got 4 but I feel like as I'm going to be wearing them near constantly I think I need more. So please style and beauty ladies tell me what you would do?

More than 7

I take 7 for a 2 week holiday as well as matching sarongs for walking around the pool. Most on MN will probably disagree with this but I like to have various bikinis to choose from.

Now this is my thinking too. I want to be able to have different ones in different styles for different occasions. Either that or I'm just being a greedy fucker 🤣

I mix and match, and bring more knickers than bras.

I'd probably be the opposite tbh because I've got a perfect pair of the bikini shorts which I had to buy a separate bra for as the one it came with was too big. So if prefer different bras to go with those

I take 1… keep the tan line consistent

Get another perfect pair of the bikini shorts and a top.

Now if it was me and I thought like that I'd have that 1 bikini in every colour it came in 😂
