Tampons/ pads: There isn't technically a minimum age to use a tampon. However, i would ensure that the girl is responsible enough to regularly change a tampon. If she isn't then a pad is the safest bet.

No: As long as the 13 year old is responsible enough to regularly change the tampon that is ok.
