Get a more absorbent tampon, I'd keep using playtex, but bring the absorbency level up one. If that doesnt work then try a differnt brand.

no, you should try a tampon that expands SIDEWAYS not the long way. Try OB brand, they are much better.
If the tampon is completely saturated when you pull it out, then yes, change more frequently. If it still is pretty dry and it is leaking, then it's just a bad brand that expands in the wrong direction and lets flow get past.

OBs are my faves & they hardly EVER leak!!! They come with applicators too but I like the non applicator ones because then nobody know you are having your period & you can just carry them in your pocket
