There are dailies I've tried, but there are times where I do need to wear them for a few days and I think monthlies fit my need the best.

One month contact lenses are good for one month once you open the package. These limits are for consumer protection as your chance of infections and other complications really increases past the one month mark (or the two week mark, or the one day mark depending on the lens).
The other problem is that CL solution is really only good for about 1 week in the case. So when your contacts sit in the case for a long period of time the solution actually becomes a "nutrient soup" for bacteria.
If you find yourself only wearing lenses part time then Dailies are the best bet for you. The cost of dailies is less than monthlies if you are only using them a couple times a week. Also, Dailies solve the problem of sleeping in them as you can chuck them out before bed and put in a new set the next day.
The big thing people have to remember with contact lenses is that they are a medical device and should be used as indicated.
