According to google, a normal pad or tampon holds 5ml of blood, so if you're surpassing that by six times each hour, you definitely need to get to the ER. If you have any pads or tampons left over it might be worth using them just this one time so you can have a more "standardized" measure you can give the doctors (or paramedics). Going through six pads in one hour will get you much prompter (and more accurate) medical attention) than going through one menstrual cup an hour, especially since most providers have never even heard of a menstrual cup before.
