Swimsuits and Bikinis?

Morning everyone,

I am due to go to Spain at the end of July, and after a recent clothes clear out i've realised that I have ruthlessly managed to chuck out any old bikinis I had!
I'd really like some of those cut-away swimsuits you see about (and given that i'm 22 I don't want anything too fuddy-duddy!) and some nice bikinis...but having a look around websites etc they all seem rather expensive (or maybe it's just me with my MSE head on!)
Does anyone know of any shops/websites where you can get nice but inexpensive bikinis and swimsuits?

Thanks :D

    I always get my bikini's from Asda and Primark. Very inexpensive and pretty designs.

    BHS has several lines being withdrawn and were over 40% less in price a week ago - mind you I don't know if there is any stock left.

    Nice range of bikini tops and skirts too :)

    Peacocks have some of those cutaway ones, not frumpy either but cut properly, or primark:)
    Thank you for this site Martin
    The time for change has come
    Good luck for the future
  • Thanks for the suggestions everyone - will definately be looking into them all! :D

    Asda have now introduced bikini tops in bra sizes, rather than the usual one size fits all! After all, not everyone that wears a size 14 has a B/C cup bust. And only £8 for the top and £4 for the bottoms.

    like others have said, Asda, tesco matalan etc do some really gorgeous bikinis.
    I dont know if its me, or people are snapping them up, but I am having trouble getting some decent bikini bra tops, even in the usual tesco/matalan etc
    I only seem to see the halter neck, or the bandau type, and maybe 2 designs of the standard strap type.
    Halter and bandau are no good to me, as just a tad heavy for those, but I am struggling to find some nice ones in a larger size, but just the ordinary straps, so if anyone knows wheres theres plenty, please let me know.:)
