Tevillah on Shabbos

Many nashim when they go to the mikveh are rageel to make more than 2 tevillas (3, 9, 10, etc.) When the tevillah comes out on Shabbos may they make the same amount they do during the week or because of Shabbos better to make only 2?

Answer:

If the number of tevillos done is a custom of some kind, it is okay to follow the custom even on Shabbos, and to perform the regular amount of tevillos.

The general custom is to be lenient concerning immersion in a mikvah for women on Shabbos, even when the water is heated, and one can perform the mitzvah as one usually does.

However, beyond the regular custom, one should not do extra tevilos that are merely “bathing.”
