Try the two finger method. And remember, you're not touching your eye, the lens is. You REALLY have to F-up to get any kind of eye infection.
That's a great tip. I have very thin lenses with my prescription being only 1.75. I found on my first day using them that I cannot put them on the eye and just pull my finger away without the lens coming off. I'll try your technique.
