Answers:

I used to shower all the time with my contacts in....but wouldn't let the water hit me directly in the face. I have very sensitive eyes and even tap water would irritate them with the flouride and chlorine treatments from the water plants...and my eyes would get pretty dry...and the contacts too.

If this happens, you need to have rewetting drops immediately after your shower to help get the eye and contact lubricated.

You can shower with contacts...but my advice would be to avoid getting the water and soap in them. Wash your face separately so you have more control over this. Seems to work just fine for me!
