“It's embarrassing because I don’t buy them. But I've been lucky enough that people have sent me a lot. And you know the crazy thing is that no one ever sends me my size. They always send me extra small and I'm like, 'I can only wear this tanning. I can't wear this!' I need to send a message to the world: I'm not an extra small! Anywhere! But I probably own, I don't know, at least 200 bathing suits.”

“I have a drawer stuffed that I can barely open, so I would probably say about 40? It’s not that bad. It’s too cold in New York, you don’t need them.”

“A lot. First of all, every time I shoot the bathing suit [issue], I'm like, packing that up, I'm just taking bikinis with me. I own a lot of bikinis but I've been giving away to all my friends. 500? I don't know. A lot. Trust me, a lot. I don't even buy bikinis anymore, I just get them from the shoots. I'm kind of lucky in that sense.”

“Now, I own like a trunkload, and so whenever girls come over, some of my model friends, I'm like 'Help yourself, take some please. Wear them. Enjoy them. Love them.' I probably have 100 at least. And big ones, too! Takes-up-some-space kind of stuff.”

“Oh my God, honestly, I have so many bikinis that I have to start putting them underneath my bed in little containers. I don't even have room in my dresser for bikinis, they have to go in a big duffle underneath my bed. I don't think I wear bikinis even twice, I have so many! Especially working with Sports Illustrated you get all the bikinis you want so … I couldn't even [guess]. Honestly, that's one of the things I have the most of.”

KELLY ROHRBACH: 200

“Before [I became a swimsuit model], like four, five. Now, like, 200! We get a lot sent to us and on shoots we can take one or two. I literally have some swimsuits that you would never ever wear on a beach. Your friend comes over and she’s like, 'Why do you own this?' And you’re like, 'For that one time that I get enough confidence to actually wear it.' It’s the bathing suit that you want to wear, but you can’t build up the courage to do it. Because you know you would wear it by the pool and everyone would be like 'Who does that girl think she is?' “
