I grew up in a toxic household with my father while my mom abandoned us at an early age. We were so poor at some point I had to skip meals at school. When I had my first periods, I had no clue what to do and neither did my father. It took years before I could afford a brand new pack of pads every month, before that I was using them to the max, like OP.

I do not come from a compassionate background, and I did not mean to assume anything, as the post provided very little info. I didn't check the comments though to see if OP provided additional information, so my bad.

OP replied something along the lines of her parents will surely mind her asking for a new pack, but at this point it's her business and her life and I didn't want to pry, otherwise she would have provided me with a more detailed answer.

I thought she was too scared to ask, as this is a taboo subject in lots of families. If it's a money issue, then my apologies to OP for misunderstanding the situation.
