My brother has the specsavers ones, pay monthly, monthly wear, just drop them in some liquid at night and pop them in in the morning.

i wear dailies and i'd never consider wearing monthlies.
if they fall out of your eye (which mine have done before) then you're fucked  or you have to pay for more.

i had weekly or monthly disopsables, cant actually remeber, only wore them on odd occasions. I just wore them once or maybe a couple times if consequetive days but as said often lost them or tore them so just used them as dailys.
Tried dailys, they are just the exact same. ended up cancelling my direct debit
so am i right in thinking you pop them in and try to keep them in for a full month?
no need to take them out at night etc?
sounds like a great plan but id probably loose them tbh
hay fever is also a pain in the arse for contacts

I actually like the feeling of taking mine out of an evening...I can only describe the feeling as being similar to when you take a pair of shoes off you have had on all day.
Would feel strange wearing them to sleep etc.

I wear monthlys from specsavers and they have never 'fallen out of my eye' lol but i have lost one before a few times. If this happens ill just wear the monthlys for two months, they get slightly less comfortable but hardly noticable!... i wouldnt recommend for more than two months though!
Dailys i would use if i was going camping or PVS for example but i find them pointless otherwise? And more expensive?
I pay £10 a month and get a package sent to me with 3 months worth in them 4-5 containers and 3 bottles of peroxide.
Takes me 30seconds to a min putting them in and less taking them out.... When i first got them times thoughs numbers by ten

One thing ive noticed about dailys and monthlys is that monthlys are EASIER to put in... i swear they have a better coating on them which makes them stick to ur finger better and just generally easier all round.

The first post says 1 month continuous wear...
That to me says you do as you can get monthlys that you leave in and dont take out at all.

Ive heard of these but was under the impression its not for general use and more for when your eye needs to be 'reshaped'. It basically stays in overnight and reshapes your eye to fix it.... someone correct me if im talking shit.
