No. Absolutely don't use salt water. And plain water will just dry them out more. My advice-just sleep with them in, yawn in the morning to make your eyes tear and move them around a bit. Should be fine after a few minutes. Tell her not to do it often though.

You can use water. Do not tell her to use salt water. Unless you secretly hate her guts, that would not be funny in the least.

No..."Never use plain water on your contacts, and never put your contacts in your mouth to "rinse" them. Microorganisms can live in even distilled water and can cause infection or damage sight. " (from http://www.clevelandclinic.org/health/he... )

You should definitely not use plain water all the time, but in a pinch it should be fine. Just make sure when you get home you put them in the solution to disinfect them.

I put mine in plain water over night and had no problems.

It wouldn't make the contact dry out..It would just hurt when she puts it in, in the morning. I've tried that once. It's not good.
