Maybe have her sister talk to her about it..But def give her some pads..And yes let your older daughter use tamps..As long as she knows what shes doing :)
Its possible she started her period already even though shes only 9. I would do what you feel comfortable with you know your daughter best. I would probably just buy pads and let her know whenever she needs them to feel free to ask for help and that its normal and all part of growing up. Don't show your discomfort so much it will only make it uncomfortable to talk about. Just approach like you would anything else..For your other daughter I dont think its a concern how long shes been menstrating when deciding the right time to start using tampons... its more of a question of her age and responsibility, Using tampons comes with greater risks of infection and what not so she needs to feel comfortable changing them and knowing when to change them. Also tampons shouldnt be worn overnight. Also if she is younger it may be uncomfortable.
I would buy some pads and just leave them on her bed or in the bathroom in case she does need them, then check and see if any are missing after awhile, if you don't want to bring it up with her. I do think you should have a private talk with her just to answer her questions and let her know she can talk to you if she needs to.
Also tampons are safe, so if she wants them and you're ok with it, it shouldn't be a big deal. My 12 year old wears them when she swims.
Tampons are safe for any age, so don't worry if your daughter wants to use them. She won't loose her virginity if that is what you are worried about.
And talk to your youngest daughter, tell her if she understands what is happening to her and that you will buy her some pads... she must feel alone about this if she is shy.
Well I would definantly talk to her because you wouldn't want her walking around in bloody under wear. And let her try to wear the tampons but just be aware that tampons aren't for everyone.
Good luck.
