Lauren Wasser is an inspiring model and activist. She walked a number of the most famous runways in the world, including New York Fashion Week, but in 2014, things took a horrible turn. Having developed toxic shock syndrome from using a tampon, Lauren was struck with the loss of her first leg in 2014. In 2018, Lauren, unfortunately, had to have her second leg amputated as a result of the horrible affliction. Since then, Lauren has turned her sights on activism, and has continued to be a beacon of hope for showing the medical world and general public the very real cost of feminine hygiene products not meeting the necessary standards to keep women safe. Here, Lauren smiles while on the red carpet for the 5th Annual People Magazine ‘Ones To Watch’ Party in Los Angeles on Oct. 4, 2017. To see more pictures of Lauren, click through the gallery!
