Tampons need to be changed at least every 4-6 hours.
If the tampon leaks before that time then change sooner - if the tampon leaks within 1-2 hours then you may want to consider using the next absorbency up. Remember to change absorbency as your flow changes, if at 4-6 hours your tampon isn't saturated with blood use lower absorbency or pads.
