Her legs are amputated after using a common household product

Lauren Wasser, a rising model from California, faced a life-altering crisis at just 24 years old when she was diagnosed with menstrual toxic shock syndrome (mTSS) after using a tampon. What began as flu-like symptoms escalated into a medical emergency, leading to a week-long coma and a grim prognosis of only a one-percent chance of survival. Despite her fight to live, the infection resulted in the amputation of her right leg.

After seven years of rebuilding her life on a prosthetic leg, Lauren faced another devastating blow when she had to undergo a second amputation of her left leg. In her darkest moments, she contemplated suicide, but the thought of her younger brother kept her alive. This reflection sparked a renewed purpose within her, motivating her to advocate for menstrual product safety and raise awareness about the dangers of mTSS.

Today, Lauren has transformed her pain into power, becoming a global activist for safe period products. She has redefined beauty by casting her prosthetic legs in gold, symbolizing strength and individuality. Living boldly, she runs, hikes, and models, inspiring others with her confidence and resilience.

Lauren’s message to women is clear: “Own who you are.” She emphasizes the importance of self-acceptance and awareness, urging women to focus on themselves and not be defined by societal expectations. Through her advocacy, she aims to ensure that no woman has to endure the same fate she did, reminding everyone that awareness can save lives.
