I used to use playtex slimfits, and then they started leaking, so I started only using tampax pearl (very good brand, in my opinion) and I haven't had a problem.
The tampons you're using might not be the right strength for your flow. If you're using lights and your flow is normal or heavy it's not gonna work out too well, lol.
Another thing you might do is wear minipads with the tampons while you're experimenting with brands and sizes (if you decide to experiment), just to check for leaks and not stain your undies.
I hope this helps!
