hippy-
I suggest speaking with her optician about this option.
What can work and be beneficial for M_V might not be for her.
Unfortunately, as a healthcare professional who has worked in contact lenses for a bit in my career, I have noticed that many contact lens wearers tend to self-prescribe them with x,y,z lenses without any professional opinion/support.It is true there are lenses out there that can be worn in extended wear as M_V but normally there is someone who helps you determine if this is a healthy choice and guide you through risk&benefits.
We do have only 2 eyes (most of us) and it is better to keep them super healthy.

If it’s any help I wear Air Optix Night and Day monthlies.
I moved to them from dailies as I wanted something I could wear for longer periods if I went overnight camping for instance, so I didn’t have to take lenses out at night and put them
in in the morning with unwashed hands.
I very rarely actually go camping or anything but I like these lenses way better than the dailies. They are a bit stiffer which I find is actually a positive, they’re so much easier to put in than the dailies and they’ve pretty much never folded up in my eye or been blown out while cycling or motor biking which did happen with dailies.
Also I can wear them for like 36-48 hours without my eyes feeling irritated or dried out.
