How to ask my husband if he can buy me pads Update with photo

So I'm in a predicament that I know a lot will say isn't that serious and I should just ask but it's hard. I have posted on here about my husband and I being arranged to be married. We've been married almost 2 months now. I'm 18 and he's 25 and while it was so awkward in the beginning. I broke the ice and we actual talk now and have went in a first date and we are going on another today. He's not a bad person from what I've gotten to know about him. He's a big reader and does seem to care about what I think. Back when things we were awkward and we didn't really talk he messaged me asking if I was okay with him keeping his book if the month subscription that was only 15.99. I didn't think he had to ask but he did. He drive me to and from school and we are getting along good. He even stocked the fridge with coke because on our first date I said I'm a child because my favorite snacks are cheez it's with coke.. but I got my period and only have a few pads. I don't have a drivers license and I wanted to ask him if he could pick me up some pads but.... IDK how. I wasn't even allowed to ask my parents to buy me pads as a teen. I wasn't allowed to say the word pad and they refused to give me tampons because they needed me "pure" for my husband who I hadn't even met yet. My mom is strange. She's a business women. So is my dad. I was married off for business reasons. My husband was for religious reasons. My mom gripes at me for not having a job yet and depending on a man for money but I'm just trying to finish high school. But she has views that don't line with her whole girl boss things she promotes. First and foremost she married me off... Another thing was I was brought up that the words "period" "pads" "tampons" were bad words. I wasn't allowed tampons. I couldn't say period. I have to say time if the month. I can't say pad I had to say napkin. So now my period embarrasses me and I thought about just walking to the store and trying to get a friend who has a car to take me. I know part of being married is communication and honesty but I just feel ashamed ..

I mustered up the courage to ask and texted him if he could get me some feminine products and hope he knew what that meant and he just texted back "Middle drawer in bathroom to your left". I opened it.
