I think I know exactly what her problem is!

If I understand correctly, she has a 'septate hymen'. It's when the hymen forms abnormally and it divives the vaginal opening into two, instead of making one smaller circle like normal ones. I have the exact same problem. My boyfriend doesn't mind it one bit though. It's a little awkward if you were to do oral, I suppose. But just reassure her that it's very stretchy and may hurt a bit more if you have sex for the first time (if its her first time as well) or if you finger her, but that it doesn't bother you one bit. it may take her some time to warm up, but eventually she'll let you. =) good luck!

there is surgery to remove it, it's called a hymenectomy (or something of that sort). It can be very expensive, but apparently is relatively simple, as it can be done in the gyno's office in a visit. I would completely advise against cutting it herself, as an infection could occur, causing more problems. Encourage her that if it bothers her to call a gyno and to ask them about it. It really isn't anything to be worried about though.
