You can get pads for night time which are bigger than normal pads, have you tired these?
You could also change your pad more often than you are at the moment, which will be annoying but should deal with the heavy flow.
You could also try tampons..and perhaps pads at the same time if you are worried how it will work out the first time. You can get super tampons which will hold more than the mini tampons but you could try all types to see what suits. Tampons might take awhile to get use to but stick at it.
If you are unhappy or concerned about your period then you should visit a doctor. You can talk to your mum or someone you feel comfortable with about it before you do if you wish. Depending on your age there may be pills you can take to lighten your period.
