Wearing Two Pads?

Soooo...do any of you ladies wear two pads to create a long pad? Am I the only one doing this? I think it's because I'm a plus size woman, my blood runs between my buttcrack which stains my panties and—sometimes—my pants or skirt. Any suggestions to avoid this? I'm really skeptical with tampons. I like the comfort of feeling something to catch the blood.
