What are the differences between U-backed and X-backed swimsuits?

Personal experiences/opinions welcome

U-backed--is just that the back is in a U shape...I personally don't like these because the straps always fall off my shoulders, which I CANNOT STAND. Thus I don't even buy this kind anymore.

X-backed--The straps come together in the back and it looks like an X...I always wear these for swim practice or to just go to the pool..The only problem is they rub around the arms and on the neck...One time someone asked me if I had a boyfriend or a one night stand...that is the ONLY problem ( I wear it for at least 2 hours at a time though.) Source(s): Swimming for 6 years and am now a lifeguard and swim instructor.

water goes down the bak of the u-backed 1s. x-backed 1s give u hickeys tho...
