Should I get soft lenses instead of rigid?

Question

I got tryout rigid lenses a week ago. They are uncomfortable and keep slipping off my cornea. It kind of seems that they are good only for looking straight forward (one of the reasons I got them in the first place was to be able to look sideways and still have correction) - when I try to turn my eyes they start to get uncomfortable and when I really try to take a good look at something they slip. I guess it might be that they get caught on my eyelids and lose adhesion. Is it possible these tryout lenses are any different from the (horridly expensive) real deal? Are soft lenses more adhesive?

Update:

Yea, tryout - they are different colors and usable only for two months, the real ones are for two years. And BTW, forgot to clarify - I got astigmatism and nearsightedness + nystagmus (which is issue only because from distance I see better if I move my eyes to some strange position, apparently that's what makes them slip)

you have "tryout lenses" that are rigid?  thats kind of weird.  

but to answer your question: soft lenses move way less & "slip" way less & fall out way less.  they are more expensive in the long run, and fewer Rx's are doable in soft...and most people consider gas perms to be clearer vision
