Well I am a veteran of vial/yearly soft contact lenses and although I don't wear daily lenses, I have worn them for a 10 week period.

The biggest difference I found was in putting them into my eye. I like to put a couple of drops of lens solution onto the lens before insertion, but sometimes they are so flexible/thin that they fold in on themselves.

I never had any problems removing them though. Just a simple pinch the lens off the cornea technique.

Some of the monthly disposable lenses can be thinner than dailies. It also depends on the flexibility/modulus of the lens.
