I second this. I reserve oversized pure cotton underwear for periods. Big pads fit more snugly on them too. There's less pad displacement + leakage compared to what I experienced when I used my normal underwear with pads.
Also, I find that hand-washing bloodstained clothes with cold water gets the stains out very effectively. Hot water (e.g. in a washing machine) causes bloodstains to set in, and then it's just pretty much permanent. I ruined quite a few articles of clothing that way until my mum taught me to use cold water.
