If you don't like bloody pads, you can also use tampons or menstrual cups. I use tampons during the day, because I don't like the feeling of a gross, bloody pad on my crotch (I use pads at night, because you're most likely to get Toxic Shock Syndrome if you leave the same tampon in for + 8 hours). Tampons most likely will not leak (or will leak very little) if you use the right size and change them every 4 hours (but only use the smallest size you need for that day, because you are also more likely to get Toxic Shock Syndrome if you use a bigger tampon than you need). You may also want to wear a pantiliner with a tampon in case the tampon does leak. I think I heard menstrual cups don't leak at all.
