Can you soak your contacts for weeks?

Question

Hi, i just got my contacts and i would like to know if you can soak them for a week or so? I'm not going to wear them until the school year because i just tried it on. So can you?

Answer 1

Yeah, but change the solution every 2 days or so.

I soaked mine for a week or so and when I went to put them in, they were dried out from not changing the solution. sucked :[

Answer 2

Of course you can, that's how they come to you, soaking in liquid, right?
