HELP! Tampons for my young daughter??

I started my period at 14 and my Mother gave me a box of pads. I had extremely heavy periods and they just did not work for me. I had to teach myself how to use them because my mom didn't know how. The first couple of times you hurt yourself, but then you get the hang of it. I don't think being a virgin is even an issue. If her flow is heavy, she may need to use a bigger tampon. It never bothered me. Oh by the way, I admire you for having such an open relationship about such things. My period apparently didn't even warrant a discussion. I am glad that Mothers are capable of sharing in these rites of passage.
