I ran out of overnight pads what do I do

If you just ran out of overnight pads, you can try layering two regular pads, or fold a regular pad in half for extra protection in the back, or use period underwear if you have some.
Okay, so running out of pads mid-period is literally the worst. It's happened to me, and it's super annoying. If you don't have any period underwear, a quick hack is to grab a couple of regular pads. You can stick one a little further back than usual to catch anything that might leak, or even use two side-by-side if you can make them fit. You can also fold a pad in half and put it closer to the back while you sleep, which makes it thicker in just the right spot.
Don't stress too much though, accidents happen! If you're super worried about leaks while you sleep, you can put a towel down on your bed to protect your sheets. Then, first thing in the morning, definitely tell a grown-up so they can help you get more pads. You don't want to run out again, it's such a hassle!
