What you need to do is sit down and have a talk with mom. Tell her what happened with grandma and you need some privacy. Or, talk to them while you're eating supper. And what you can also do is put a "PLEASE KNOCK" sign or a "KEEP OUT" sign on your door.

I understand how you feel. It sometimes is hard for us adults to realize are children are growing up and we need a gentle reminder.
What i would suggest is you try to get mom a lone for a minute and tell her what happened. You start by saying something like; Something a little embarrassing happened with grandma the other day I need to talk to you about. Then tell her what happened and explain why you were embarrassed. Then ask mom if she would talk with grandma and the rest of the family about knocking and waiting to be invited in before coming in.
If mom asks why tell her the simple truth. You need privacy to change or try on clothes and things. To do things that girls like to do in private that brothers and sisters don't need to see to tease you about.
That should be enough to get mom on your side.

Well i use to have that problem when i was like 12. This is how i told my parent's. At supper one night i was like, "Okay, guys I am 12 and ya'll just walk in my room like its yours. You guys have to have more respect for me than that. I am growing up and I need MORE privacy in MY room..." and from that day on before anyone comes in my room they knock and WAIT for an answer..

You just have to tell your mother. Mom I am 13 now can you all please knock before coming in my room now. Just be nice when you ask dont yell at her.

Why are you puttin on a pad in your room? That is what a bathroom is for?
The only thing you can do is ask them for privacy. Let them know that when your door is closed that you would really appreciate it if they knocked first because you wanna feel more like an adult.
Thats all you really can do is talk to them. Figure out why you want privacy, and if you have a lock on your door, than lock it. If not, ask if you can get one.
