I tried wearing contact lenses for a little bit and I found them to be horribly uncomfortable and they would fall out if I blinked too often. For people like me who do not get along well with contacts, I really hope that they don't become necessary anytime in the future.
You probably haven't found the right brand for you. I wear mine 14 hours a day and barely ever notice them. Experiment, you can usually ask for free samples.
The day I first tried on contacts, I tried every brand my optometrist carried, most of which wouldn't stay in at all. I took samples of both varieties that would fit to try wearing for a week. Both had issues staying in and both caused serious irritation so I couldn't wear either for more than an hour.
While there might be a brand that would work for me, I have had no luck finding it.
