You didn't give your age so I will assume you are a teenager for the rest of my answer to you.
Masturbation, sex and Menstruation have nothing to do with one another. In fact for 20% of women it may be necessary to have sex when menstruating if they want to conceive a child.
Explanation: Most women ovulate between the 7th and 21st day of their cycle. This is the time when they are most likely to become pregnant. For the other 20% of women they ovulate at any time during their cycle including when they are having their period. For this 20% having sex during their period, which is considered a safe time for most women, may be the only time they can conceive. If you can have sex while on your period there is no reason you cannot masturbate. It will not hurt you in any way and as I said it may help relieve some cramping.
Why have I told you this? Two reasons:
1) TO justify my answer to you that you can masturbate during your period.
2) If you did not already know this it is important to know.
There is a kit you can purchase at the drugstore that can help you tell when you are ovulating. I believe this is something all women should know for various reason including knowing when it is safe to have sex and when it is possible to conceive a child.

Hey, anything to make cramps go away, right? Haha. [ Mesa's advice column | Ask Mesa A Question ]
Dragonflymagic answered Thursday April 17 2014, 2:03 pm: Yes it is ok, as long as you don't mind your fingers possibly getting a little blood on them.
If it's a real heavy flow, it could be messy. Doing just the clit is least messy. Use of toys is okay too as well as having intercourse on period with husband or someone you are fluid bonded with, both having been tested for all the things you can be tested for and both are in the clear.
At the beginning or ending of a period when the flow is a little lighter, it is entirely possible for the flow to actually stop entirely if the female is aroused enough and the flow will not continue until you are done having sex. Some men have no problem with whatever little flow you might have, they find it to be a good lubricant. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]
