Tragedy strikes: American model loses legs and almost dies despite proper tampon use! …see more
Lauren Wasser’s story is one of unimaginable tragedy and incredible resilience. At the age of 24, Lauren was living an active, fulfilling life, modeling and playing basketball.
However, in 2012, her life took a dramatic turn when she developed toxic shock syndrome (TSS) after using a tampon—a product millions of women use daily without incident.
Despite using the tampon correctly, changing it every four hours as recommended, Lauren’s life was forever altered by this rare but severe bacterial infection.
She was rushed to the hospital, where doctors fought to save her life. It was only after extensive testing that the cause of her illness was identified: toxic shock syndrome, a condition caused by the release of toxins from an overgrowth of Staphylococcus aureus (staph) bacteria, which can be associated with tampon use.
Waking up to this new reality was devastating for Lauren. She had lost both her legs, and with them, her sense of identity as an athlete and a model.
However, instead of allowing this tragedy to define her, Lauren chose to redefine herself. She was determined to walk again, and after months of rehabilitation and learning to use prosthetics, Lauren not only regained her mobility but also returned to modeling, defying all odds.
Today, Lauren is not only a survivor but a role model. She has returned to modeling, walking runways and appearing in major fashion campaigns, challenging the industry’s standards of beauty. Her story is one of resilience, strength, and the power of the human spirit to overcome even the most devastating of circumstances.
Lauren’s experience is a stark reminder of the risks associated with tampon use, even when used correctly. It underscores the importance of education, awareness, and advocacy in ensuring that women are informed about the products they use and the potential dangers they may pose.
Through her advocacy, Lauren continues to inspire others, turning her pain into a purpose that goes beyond her personal story to impact the lives of many others.
