Is there a comfort difference between daily contacts and monthly?

When you wore yours for 2 months, what type was it?

These were dailies. I was either wearing an Acuvue brand or I had already switched to Daysoft, I forget.

I talked to my optometrist and they told me that most contacts are the same material, and bi-weeklies/etc are just slightly thicker for durability.

I was diligent about cleaning them, while at the same time being gentle so I didn't tear them. I was also very cautious about swimming with them, touching them or otherwise doing anything that might promote eye infections. Comfort-wise, they were fine, but it felt like they shrank slightly over time, if that makes sense.
