Should I give my 12 year old tampons as well as pads?

Give her access to both but explain to her that if she wants to go swimming she's going to need to use a tampon. I used pads from I was 12 until last month. (I'm 15 now) It can be scary to use tampons (I should know..) but you need to explain to her how to use them properly or else they'll hurt or feel uncomfortable.
