Through preteam to the end of L4 season (about 1 year), my daughter had ONE (1) leo! She practiced about 3 hours a day, 2 times a week at L4. With all the activities of all my kids, it never occurred to me to buy her another leo until one day she finally asked for another one at the L4 state meet. So, I got another one. Fast forward to present, she's an L10 this year, last we counted she has 37. I just got her two new ones the other day. So that makes 39. Note: Believe it or not she can still fit into her very first leo (which by the way was a hand me down from her older sister who took gymnastics for a couple months). I guess she wore it to death that one year and continued to wear it through the years, it had stretched/grown with her, and believe me she did grow. She has since tossed many leos she has outgrown but to this date, it is still one of her favorite leos.
 
I keep telling myself "no more" then I see an extra cute one that I know she will love! She has a clinic in November she will get a leo from, 2 meets that give leos as gifts, and I'm pretty sure grandma will buy at least one at a meet. Plus, she is the smallest on team....so she gets a lot of hand me downs. Oh, and the new training tank I paid $$$ for that will be here eventually
 
My dd had 1 for her 1st year of gym and was going 3 times a week we now go 5 days a week and we prob have at least 20 I swear I can't remember when she last wore normal clothes we change straight from school uniform to gym clothes to pjs every week day apart from one and her choice of clothing on non gym day ... You guessed it Leo's grrrr
 
My dd has A LOT! (more than 20). She grows very little each year, so she doesn't really grow out of them. She is in her 3rd year in a Child Medium with more room left. We have finally started to give away the ones she doesn't wear anymore. I do believe in inexpensive though... and she is perfectly happy with that:)
 
I think dd has 3 that I would consider expensive (besides her comp Leo), one grandma bought for $60 at a meet when dd had mono and couldn't compete, and her two training tanks ($72 and $92). The rest are generally grab bags and ebay
 
Oh wow! This is amusing to me. My DD trains 2x per week (sometimes 3) and has 3 leos -of which she only wears two bc she finds one of them scratchy. She is getting one as her Halloween costume so that will make 4 (or 3 if you discount the one she doesn't wear). Maybe I will get her a few more. YDD does gymnastics 1x per week in rec and has 2 leos.
 
More than 40, but the same 10 get most of the wear. The leos passed down from the older optional girls are way better and more comfortable than the expensive leos purchased at meets per my DD. Therefore this meet season not one new leo has been bought.
 
My dd does one hour a week rec gym... She has (omg) 4 Leo's!

My ds who trains nor has stirrups and 3 Leo's but apparently his big gym tend to train in t shirts and stirrups but he's still going Leo's and stirrups or shorts as its smarter :-)
I have smartness issues it would appear,,.
