How to have period sex with my boyfriend?

Me and my boyfriend have been dating for about two months. I never had sex with him during my period and we both talked about it and agreed we want to. I'm currently on my period and I am going to see my boyfriend. I wear pads so it just feels like it'll kill the mood if it's getting hot and heavy and I'm like "hold on let me take off my pad🙄" should I take it off before we do it? I just don't know how to go about this lol its stupid I know but I don't want him to see my bloody pad
