Caveat : Do not use warm water. It could cause the blood to set in the fabric.

3. Use salt.

Salt is commonly used during the cleaning of pants. Shake a generous amount of salt on the blood stained area. (The cloth should be wet beforehand). Let it sit for an hour and then wash it with cold salt water .Voila! The stain has gone!

4. Bleach can be the backup plan!               

If nothing works, including hydrogen peroxide, we can resort to a bleaching agent. Bleaching is believed to be the best stain fighting chemical.The bleaching agent is used by soaking the pants in it. After a while, the stains will disappear.

Caveat : Bleaching can cause the colors of the fabric to fade. Often, it is the best practice to test a small inconspicuous area of the fabric to see if it is colorfast or not!

P.S. But who cares if the color of the underwear fades a little as long as there are no blood stains on it!
