i like Playtex and i used slim fit when i first started using tampons. so if it's leaking switch to a normal regular tampon or if you need it use a super. these both have a higher absorbency. another good brand is Tampax Pearl because they expand to fit the width of your vagina and they have great leak protection. plus if you're not ready to use a bigger tampon they also carry the slim fits. also use a pantyliner just in case your tampon leaks unexpectedly it'll help keep you clean for awhile and protect your undies and from leaking through your pants which is totally embarrassing.

playtex is good just like tampax. the reason why its leaking is because its not the right absorbancy. it doesn't matter what brand u use as long as ur heavy u should go up to normal absorbancy and on lighter days use slim fits.

Playtex Gentle Glide, and to reduce leaks get Super Absorbency. Hope this helps!

I use tampax and I like them. Your tampons should not leak. You may need some that are bigger, or you might need to change it more frequently. I've never used playtex.

I always used Playtex and now I use Kotex tampons and they are the best. You might need to try using regular tampons that arent slims. And also, wear a pantiliner if youre using tampons so that your panties dont get spots and get ruined.

Maybe the slim fits are too slim. Try Tampax Regulars. Of course you may just have a heavy flow and need to use a pad for the first day or two.

i have to say i'm a fan of the playtex pearls that some other girls mentioned.. plastic is always better than that cardboard stuff...
o'bs can be kinda confusing
also i've tried kotex and those are right up there with the platex for me
