Period pants recommendations

Hi
Just that really
Dd 12 has her periods now and isn't really managing too well.
She has ASD which adds to the challenge , but in another thread I've discovered period pants exist !!
I'm am older mum and these never existed when I had my older girls now all grown up. They sound great.
My question is .... she's tiny .
Like really tiny.
I buy age 12 clothes for her but always have to have someone take the waist in by a couple of inches .
I looked at M&S and they don't do age it's sizes only.
Would a size 8 be suitable do you think?
She's filling out a bit elsewhere.
How many pairs do I need initially?
The options are moderate flow or light amd currently (bit gross sorry) she's quite light but keep finding knickers shoved in corners with period stains on.
I put pads in her room/ bin / baskets ect
She's pretty open to communication but when it actually happens just sort of ignores it.
She'd like to try the pants but would appreciate any advice on brand / sizes / flow ect
Thank you so much.

Don't get the M&S ones they're rubbish. DD bled through them in half a day despite them saying on the website they were designed for heavy flow days. The cheaper ones from Primark were better.
