Period while sharing a bed

I’m going away this weekend with my friend and our hotel room has 1 bed only. I’m on my period and since we’re gonna be sharing a bed, I’m wondering what i should do? I know most hotel sheets and blankets are white. I don’t wanna have an accident while sharing the bed and on white bedding.

Should I just wear a tampon to bed and set a timer for 8 hours and get up and change it? I normally wear pads to sleep but I know it’ll be my luck I’ll leak.

Any other tips?
