My soflens toric contacts are uncomfortable!

Hello to all,
I have been contact lens user for over 12 years and have been ok wid it. Due to my high power -6.00 I do not prefer to wear glasses. I always for some reason feel really uncomfortable when I wear glasses- it never matches the comfort of contacts. Well starting about few months back the comfort of my lens has come down after 12 hours of wearing my eyes feel tired and slight burning. I change my lens every 2wks up to max of one month- these lenses are sold in India as monthly disposables but I am aware in USA these are two week lenses. The lens that I use is soflens toric since i have astigmatism. Here are my questions:

1) Is there any other monthly toric lens that is known for comfort- is cibavision focus better than soflens?

2) what is good solution to use? Heard clear care is good- is there any need to rinse the clear care case after each use if so then what should i use normal saline solution?

3) I reside in India, so its not easy to get plain saline solution meant for optical use, but the IV Normal Saline - the ones used for intravenous drip is available. Do you think it would safe to use this to rinse my contacts and my contact case

4) please share any cleaning methods for comfortable wear

thanks to all in advance! :)
