Hello laninoso. Welcome to Lens 101!
I checked lens.com and contactsamerica.com, but I couldn't find "Acuvue Toric Advantage." There's an Acuvue Advance, and an Acuvue Toric, but that was the closest I could find. The Acuvue Toric was being discontinued anyway. Most of the two week
contacts come with 6 or 12 in a box.
And about wearing them more than two weeks--don't. You should never wear contacts for longer than they are designed to be worn, unless you don't wear them every day.
When they say "two weeks" that means you can wear them seven times if you sleep in them, fourteen times if you don't. So if you want them to last a little longer, skip a day now and then and wear your
glasses. Bottom line, if you want your contacts to last a little longer, wear them less, not more.
I hope that helps!
