Hand tight = WRONG. Look on the filter. It says tighten the filter until it makes contact with the engine block. Then turn it another 1/2 turn. Or 3/4 turn or whatever depending on the car.
What you dont want to do it turn it more than that figureing if that is good more is better! Then it will be difficult to remove. I use ramps to change my oil. While Im under there I inspect the car for dammage, leaks, and also the condition of the CV joint boots (not really necessary any more until over 100k miles)
