I put a new one in yesterday, then later coming out of the shower where I got water in the… eyeball cavity it rolled back around the eye and it’s been there ever since?

Like normally with contacts it would roll back out within 30 mins. With these last time I thought I had lost it, put another one in, but then at night after I’d removed it the old one came out.
