It sounds perfectly normal to me re the staining of light undies and bleaching of darker ones. [I wear black only, so I know.] It's caused by the proteins in vaginal fluid.
I cringe at the comment your mother made (right, because her vag is better than yours!). And, as for your bf having done his female relatives laundry, well ... if I'd been his sister, I probably would have hand-washed my undies before throwing them into the laundry hamper where They. Could. Be. Seen. And. Sniffed. By. Anyone!
Though I've never tried cloth pads, I read that women use hydrogen peroxide to clear away the stains that blood can leave. Of course, putting cute panties into something like that would probably ruin them, but you could try dabbing some onto just the crotch area before throwing them into the wash.
Or just wear liners, especially if the panties are expensive, etc.
