Out of a new box of 6 I have worn 4 of them. All 4 of the XR's have ripped!!!

I'm using SoloCare lens solution, I am not rubbing the lenses, I am using plenty of re-wetting drops while wearing them, and yet the XR's are still tearing.

All 4 of the XR lenses that have torn have been worn less than 10 time (2 of them have actually only been worn once, and 1 was worn 3 times!).

The retailer I bought them from is sending me a replacement box, and requesting a retuen of any lenses I have left when I get the replacement so it can be determined if it is a "bad lot".

From what I have found on a number of forums, this is not a "bad lot", just a fact that these rip easily.

Oh well, now I know. When I make it through these, I suppose I will try another brand. Unfortunately, these are very comfortable and the vision correction is great. Any suggestions on a comparable replace would be appreciated.
Do you suppose you can wear the Proclear Toric XR in both eyes? Is the prescription pretty close in both eyes?
