When a girl gets her menstrual cycle then she is fertile and can get pregnate. She has started ovulating.
Each month her body builds up a lining on the walls of her uterus. (That's where babies grow.) Her ovaries release an egg which travels the fallopian tubes to the uterus. The most fertile time period for most women is from 5 days prior to ovulation up until about 2 days after ovulation occurs. (Sperm can live inside a woman for 3 days.) If the woman has sex in her fertile time, a sperm may meet the egg and make a baby. The baby then implants into the wall of the uterus and begins to grow.
If the woman doesn't conceive, then she has her period instead. The uterus sheds the lining that was built up for the potential baby and it passes out through the vagina. (It's commonly refered to as "blood" but it's different than the blood in your veins.) The average length of a cycle is 28 days, but it varies a bit from woman to woman. (The first day that she bleeds is considered day 1 of the cycle.)
There are different products that women can use to collect the menstrual blood during her period. Some women use tampons which are inserted into the vagina. Others use pads that stick into their underwear and are thrown away after they are dirty. Other women use pads that can be washed and reused. Some women use menstural cups. You can get cups that are either reuseable or disposable.
Women CAN have sex during their periods, but it's very messy.

When a girl has her period it means her body is mature and is able to bare children. Each month her body tells itself to release an egg and if it is not fertilizes she bleeds and sheds tissue and blood.

A period happens after you hit puberty, it's the lining of a woman uterus she sheds the blood and mucus and other material once monthly from her vagina. When I have my period I wear pads they are sticky things that protect your underwear from getting wet.
