She seems like she's very comfortable where she's at in life now. I give her a ton of credit,because she's not only alive after going through that,but is actually living her life.
She's very fortunate and is clearly grateful and humble for her circumstances. I wish I could say the same thing for the millions of Americans who are disabled and can't receive the same kind of healthcare treatment.
ellendoesleather Men have disabilities and health issues too. And they are less likely to express being afflicted by mental illness. Health is not exclusively a women’s issue.
What a woman, what a fighter, what a trooper. RESPECT! A great inspiration for people in similar circumstances. She doesn't lie down and cry about it, she doesn't want sympathy for it, she owns it.
I know it sounds odd, but those golden legs suit her. She looks strong, proud and even like a superhero. She is beautiful with a spirit I can't even imagine. So consider all that along with this comment. How about someone (designer/corp/whatever) makes her clear acrylic legs? If the joints or connections must be another material, paint that material silver or maybe gold. I was trying to think of a way so that she showcases the clothes on a catwalk without the golden legs overpowering (ironic yes?) the outfit. In any event this woman is more of a MODEL than a model. Thank you Vogue and Lauren Wasser for sharing!
@Kelvin Singing Channel Acually in this case you're wrong, because the legs are not exacly a part of her body. So its a fashion thing. But when it comes to implants in a human body, you're right.

@@sarahholland2600 i saw another interview with her where she explained how she started feeling sick a couple of minutes after inserting the tampon. She didn't kept longer than recommended or anything
I got bacterial meningitis last year and then I got Pseudotumor cerebri. Doctor told that I am going to die or if stay alive I would become blind. My family was so sad that I am going to die but my brother and my dad never gave up on me and I owe my life to these two incredible men in my life. Now I am alive and studying medical(I got vision problem though). Thanks to God and my supportive brother and my lovely dad ❤️🤗
I am shocked that every body is commenting how great she looks and nobody seems concenrs about the toxics tampons that are the reason why she got her both legs amputated
It's because she has fantastic muscle strength, good fitting prosthetic socket, suspension method, alignment and appropriate foot for her activity level. It's certainly very impressive to see! Her prosthetist has done a fantastic job!
A good illustration of a poor prosthetic fit and alignment was in the clip of her on the catwalk with only her right leg amputated. Her knee was thrusting outwards and she was walking horribly. That's due to the poor suspension of the leg (which she mentioned how it felt like it was going to fall off) and poor prosthetic alignment. The alignment may have been ok for everyday walking but when doing a catwalk models will step further inwards to enhance the hip movement. In simple terms, this shifts her weight line to a point where her muscles can no longer control causing the knee to thrust outwards. This can be easily fixed by simply changing the alignment
I'm so dumb lol. When she said I grew up with "model" parents, I immediately thought she meant parents who are so good at parenting that they set an example for how to be a good parent.
Her gait is amazing. Having a numb right leg, I know how hard it would be if both of my legs were numb! She has a nice looking gait! I hope she goes far! She has, already, accomplished so much. She is so beautiful.

@interesting things there are alot of things in everyone's lives that they need to come to terms with but how your life gonna be starts with how you come to terms with those things, It all depends on if you take them as opportunities or hurdles. Thats exactly how this girl came to term with her situation , she used it in a positive way and choose not to be pulled back coz of her incident.
I'm a strong man as well. I thought I couldnt down one more beer with the boys, but the struggle and hardship with drinking one more beer is inspiring to all men. I pulled through for the boys 🙏🏼
Her other leg was amputated earlier this year because it was causing her pain and giving her problems because there were no toes and heel on them which she had amputated with the first leg back it 2012 because it was also affected with gangrene.
The fact that, something that is considered as an essential could potentially kill you, is making me angry. I might not know how it feels to go through menstruation, but more needs to be done to ensure that, these products are safe for everyone who uses them. "More research has been done on coffee filters than on tampons." Is not pleasing me at all. 💔
You do go through manstration, though. While it's obviously not the exact same thing (no....you know... expelling of...stuff..) men also experience cyclic hormonal peaks and valleys throughout the month. As far as what I've read, depending on your natural testosterone levels, you may not even notice, or you may have extreme mood swings during certain times of the month. This is one of the reasons why people who take steroids and testosterone treatments become so emotional, and experience 'roid rage. Hormonal treatments of any kind can affect a person this way. A good way to track this, is to use your phone, a calendar, or a diary. At the end of each day, quickly jot down how you felt that day. If you're consistent, after a few months you'll start to see patterns, and then you can sort of predict when your hormonal ups and downs are going to happen. Like women, some men are like clockwork, and others have completely unpredictable cycles. Again, I'm not a doctor or an expert, but I've read up on it, and noticed it in men I've lived with. Whether it's a long-term partner, a roommate, friend, or my Dad. Unless it's been debunked since my own lazy research, that is, but as I said before, I've totally noticed it in the men in my life.
She is amazing. On another note, it blows my mind how there is no transparency when it comes to feminine hygiene products. The chemicals and toxins they use on them that we put inside our bodies on a regular basis.....And how we only have a handful of choices when it comes to types of products we can use for our periods. There should be more research on TSS as well as women’s health in general and more awareness. Companies should do better. Medical field should do more research. We deserve better as women.
its not about the chemicals on them its about bacteria which grow and release toxins in ur blood flow ! she used a tempon for too long that made the bacteria grow and bec tempons might make cuts in ur private area that made the toxins inter her blood flow which lead to the TSS , ppl shouldn’t use tempons just skip the beach for a week better than getting ur legs being lost !
It just irked me a lil teeny tiny bit because when I read it, my head processed that line as 'we deserve better because we are women'. I mean we do, though in fact every humans do. But I guess I was just sensitive to that line because I like to think of people objectively as a whole, not because I'm a man or a woman, but because I'm a person. So if it were me, I'd rather use the word *consumers, buyers, customers, or purchasers* (but it's just me though).
She walks so naturally with her prosthetics. Kudos to whoever built them and helped her learn to walk again. And so happy she didn't let her loss take her down, she looks great
She's missing legs giving her bionic limbs is not something that should be done bet lot of these cut their limbs on purpose to try and push this agenda
@@dorianbelic6901 agelina whatever her name is got her breast removed because she pretended she had problems in an attempt to get women to remove theirs so they can't breast feed believe me they go against the word in an attempt to throw us off and plus they want us worshipping a robot god by 2045 what better to show that godhead you serve with bionic limbs
@@dorianbelic6901 the amount of self-harm that broken people do for attention might surprise you... Then again, it could be vanity, call for help, or other reasons
Her golden legs are so cool! Her attitude and drive are super inspiring and I love that she’s using her experiences to push for positive change. What a woman!
i'm really happy to see how positive and confident she is with herself now after watching the other video when she goes in depth about losing her first leg. she's amazing.
Wrote a college paper about TSS close to 30 years ago. Even called protor and gamble to find out why they put rayon in their tampons. You just get the run around. It's so sad that nothing has changed. Yes, you can die, and most girls are never taught this.
Do you know where I can find good, trustfull information? I guess if you're doing it the right way you can still use tampons. There's no need to freak out, just need to inform yourself.
Watching this made me look up what TSS actually was. I'm 60 & never heard of it, but I'm now wiser. This is a remarkable young lady who seems to have taken what life has given her and made the best use of it. Well done & stay positive. Life is for living, not for wasting on being miserable. Either way, you only have *ONE* chance.

@@beyzaercan3077 ofcourse its exciting! But everybody can learn how to hit a pose! The passion lies in the complete absorption in Ones self image and the money you can make if you got the "look". You get to mingle with celebrities, drink champagne and live on a diet of coffe, adderall and grapefruit. The whole beauty industry is a scam that sells products through a fantasy. Dont drink the cool aid that vogue tries to sell you.
As an actor and a woman with a disability, I esteem you, Lauren Wasser, for fighting the good fight every day! Thank you for being a visible reminder of how our struggles make us, not break us, especially when approached with tenacity and heart. So proud of my wheelchair right now! 👩🦼✨
I never got why they alway make prosthetics look so weird and creepy. Like with glasses they should make then fashionable and cool looking. An amputee kid could get an ironman looking leg or some cartoon theme that they like. You could get a cool looking nike leg or Hugo Boss or whatever design company you like. Of course there isn’t a big market for it so it probably won’t happen.
If you have money you can get disability aids with cool designs. Some people send them to people who paint cars as there are so few specialists, plus then the art lasts for longer. With 3d printing they are working in making cool looking prosthetics that are a better price. When I became disabled I was surprised how most metal equipment was grey & supports on your body are an odd beige colour- I am pretty sure no human is actually that skin shade. Considering we have an aging population & there are a lot of disabled people, there really is a market for stylish disability aids, they just need to be an achievable price.
It's the cost, prosthetics are just stupidly expensive. It's like 20 to 70k for a hand prosthetic, mind you, not included the parts you need to replace every other month (which are also expensive, like like 500-1000 for a rubber joint fitting). What's worse, you probably need a new prosthetic every other years because of the wear and tear. Oh, if you have model parents and are a model yourself, sure golden prosthetics are an option.
It exists, just a very small marked for outer shells that can be attached to the prosthetic to give it unique looks. Saw a kick starter about it some years ago. But for most if they do it, it wouldn't be a full-time business, more like a side thing along with other products when it comes to 3D printing soft/light weight shell printing. Some people also enjoy the metal/hook/rod/fake hand/fot look as it gives them attention and can joke with it.
Majority of amputees are elderly or feel a societal stigma of being an amputee, so they request their prosthetic leg look as cosmetically 'normal' as possible. It's surprisingly easy and cheap to change the colour of the prosthetic socket. You can add a different coloured pigment to the resin to make a solid colour (gold) or provide a t-shirt/material with a cool design (iron man, a football jersey, nike top, graffiti etc) that then gets embedded into the resin of the socket. They always come out looking awesome! You can also get clip on design attachments that are 3D printed to create the shape of your calf instead of just the pylon/pole or a foam covering. But they can be $500-1500 and aren't usually covered by standard funding agencies.
Lady Golden Legs. The 'joy de vivre' and confidence she radiates bedazzles me, I've never seen this on people with disabilities. That's the whole point... She doesn't live with this that way, while a lot of people (including myself) live with a mindset of what we can't do, what we don't have, what should have been and so on and so on. What an inspiring lady this is!
If being rich makes it where you can get the attention to make a positive change in this world, then why should she be demonized for being rich and/or pretty. And yes, it is unfair that poor and less attractive people don't get the attention they deserve.
I saw an interview she had and how to she told the horrifying story of what she's been through. Now she is on the other side, living the life she was meant to live. She deserves all the happiness and success. you rock Lauren!!!
Wow she is proof that doctors arent always right. She's still here. Such a blessing. Nothing against doctors their amazing. I understand they dont know everything 😊😊
its a known fact that tampons may cause toxic shock syndrome especially with misuse of feminine products. its amazing that she survived and more power to her :)
Sol Bedolla Please be careful! Make sure your changing your tampon regularly and Never leave the tampon in over night. If you have a tampon box, check out the booklet they send inside of it. It will tell you all about TSS and how it’s caused.
Its *because* you watched it 1000 times. So when YT asks itself "What video might this person like to watch?" It goes "I know! That one the amputee model again! *BRILLIANT!*"
Yo. I didnt know there was a model with prosthetic legs. Edit: thanks guys for the likes I'm watching this again because I love this video. Theres also a singer named Viktoria Modesta with a prosthetic and I love her too. I have a prosthetic leg myself and i remember I was very self conscious about it because people would stare, now I love being stared at and I'm confident as a 27 year old woman. People get scared to ask questions but I dont mind and my family loves me so yeah...🥰

@@rasheesyed8834 hi! Just wanted to tell you that to disabled people, “differently abled” is actually a bit offensive. The word disabled shouldn’t come with bad connotations, just as the word abled shouldn’t come with bad connotations. Using various euphemisms for someone’s state of existence implies that to be disabled is a bad thing. I know you didn’t mean it that way and you aren’t doing any harm, I just wanted to tell you for the future!
This same thing happened to a guy I know. He lost both his legs and a few fingers. This could happen to anyone. This young lady is so positive and an inspiration so many.
Это здорово, что у людей с ограниченными возможностями есть шанс жить полноценной жизнью. Это практически самое главное. Думаю, многие падают духом ещё и потому, что не имеют возможность приобрести протезы, у некоторых даже коляски нормальной нет. Человек становится очень ограниченным и зависимым в таких обстоятельствах. И это очень угнетает.
She's gorgeous and inspiring, but also this is a lesson to all women about the severity of TSS. I know I never took it seriously before because I never heard stories of it actually happening.

I dont think u know about the correlation between TSS and tampons. You should research it
It's when an tampon is left in too long that it gives someone TSS, I think. No tampon chemicals.
Yep that is the fashion world . All vanity , no substance. My post was all about tss
I was thinking...never using tampons! It would be so easy to leave one in too long, and she had a heavy flow so Im guessing that hastened the TSS
@i don't care that you broke your elbow yeah?
How does she balance so well with 2 prosthetic legs? Ive never seen anyone without a limp or soemthing.
Toma and experience....?
K-rex she still has her knees. She’s a below knee amputee. It’s harder when you are an above knee amputee.
It's because she has fantastic muscle strength, good fitting prosthetic socket, suspension method, alignment and appropriate foot for her activity level. It's certainly very impressive to see! Her prosthetist has done a fantastic job!

@@interestingthings8598 you're missing her point.
@interesting things there are alot of things in everyone's lives that they need to come to terms with but how your life gonna be starts with how you come to terms with those things, It all depends on if you take them as opportunities or hurdles. Thats exactly how this girl came to term with her situation , she used it in a positive way and choose not to be pulled back coz of her incident.
Just sayin why do girls always say "queen" its a bit cringy for me fsr
Good grief, she is BEAUTIFUL! I really admire how she took a difficult situation and not only thrived but is working to help others.
Ur golden legs are beautiful
Born to be a model. Look at her face, so beautiful..And the way how she embraced her legs is also inspiring.
Strong woman. She’s doing something with the adversity she faced, something positive, helpful and aspiring to women.
I'm a strong man. I was jackin it and thought I should sleep. I'm super tired. But I PULLED through. And in the end I was happy.
Would have been a harder journey if she wasn't loaded.
I'm a strong man as well. I thought I couldnt down one more beer with the boys, but the struggle and hardship with drinking one more beer is inspiring to all men. I pulled through for the boys 🙏🏼
Hi
only aspiring to women, because she's a woman? that don't make no sense.
The courage this young lady has demonstrated is off the charts. God bless her in taking on disabilities an example for the world to see.
hawaru friend came please Pakistan ILOVEU
Her other leg was amputated earlier this year because it was causing her pain and giving her problems because there were no toes and heel on them which she had amputated with the first leg back it 2012 because it was also affected with gangrene.
Thanks

Hi 👋
What happened to her?
@aka _drb thank you
Yourphotoo! 💓
The fact that, something that is considered as an essential could potentially kill you, is making me angry. I might not know how it feels to go through menstruation, but more needs to be done to ensure that, these products are safe for everyone who uses them.
"More research has been done on coffee filters than on tampons." Is not pleasing me at all. 💔
You do go through manstration, though. While it's obviously not the exact same thing (no....you know... expelling of...stuff..) men also experience cyclic hormonal peaks and valleys throughout the month.
As far as what I've read, depending on your natural testosterone levels, you may not even notice, or you may have extreme mood swings during certain times of the month. This is one of the reasons why people who take steroids and testosterone treatments become so emotional, and experience 'roid rage. Hormonal treatments of any kind can affect a person this way.
A good way to track this, is to use your phone, a calendar, or a diary. At the end of each day, quickly jot down how you felt that day. If you're consistent, after a few months you'll start to see patterns, and then you can sort of predict when your hormonal ups and downs are going to happen. Like women, some men are like clockwork, and others have completely unpredictable cycles.
Again, I'm not a doctor or an expert, but I've read up on it, and noticed it in men I've lived with. Whether it's a long-term partner, a roommate, friend, or my Dad. Unless it's been debunked since my own lazy research, that is, but as I said before, I've totally noticed it in the men in my life.
That is a very thought comment
Makes me so happy that you actually care!
Yep. A tampon almost made me pass out when I was about 21. I never used them again. That backed up blood is also really stink when you pull it out.
Tampons have never been essential.
She is amazing.
On another note, it blows my mind how there is no transparency when it comes to feminine hygiene products. The chemicals and toxins they use on them that we put inside our bodies on a regular basis.....And how we only have a handful of choices when it comes to types of products we can use for our periods.
There should be more research on TSS as well as women’s health in general and more awareness.
Companies should do better. Medical field should do more research. We deserve better as women.
there is research on tss, misuse of feminine products increases risk... its good that she is representing the movement for awareness :)
its not about the chemicals on them its about bacteria which grow and release toxins in ur blood flow ! she used a tempon for too long that made the bacteria grow and bec tempons might make cuts in ur private area that made the toxins inter her blood flow which lead to the TSS , ppl shouldn’t use tempons just skip the beach for a week better than getting ur legs being lost !
*We deserve better as women*... irked me a lil bit
Manga Girl but it's true and we should say that out loud because so far we "deserved worse as women"
It just irked me a lil teeny tiny bit because when I read it, my head processed that line as 'we deserve better because we are women'. I mean we do, though in fact every humans do. But I guess I was just sensitive to that line because I like to think of people objectively as a whole, not because I'm a man or a woman, but because I'm a person. So if it were me, I'd rather use the word *consumers, buyers, customers, or purchasers* (but it's just me though).
She walks so naturally with her prosthetics. Kudos to whoever built them and helped her learn to walk again. And so happy she didn't let her loss take her down, she looks great

Just shows how even when you lose a part of yourself you are still 100% whole and no one can take that away.
She's missing legs giving her bionic limbs is not something that should be done bet lot of these cut their limbs on purpose to try and push this agenda
I don't think that anyone would like to get their legs removed just for publicity.
@@dorianbelic6901 agelina whatever her name is got her breast removed because she pretended she had problems in an attempt to get women to remove theirs so they can't breast feed believe me they go against the word in an attempt to throw us off and plus they want us worshipping a robot god by 2045 what better to show that godhead you serve with bionic limbs

Her golden legs are so cool! Her attitude and drive are super inspiring and I love that she’s using her experiences to push for positive change. What a woman!
Even tho her legs are gone it doesn’t stop her for being so pretty
How shes pretty if she look like every girl? With her ant nose?? I'm the PRETTIEST
🤬🤬🤬
@@zetazieta2061 ?
akira ziviana yes I was just saying even tho she DOSENT have lega she so pretty because there was a girl saying she was ugly
@@zetazieta2061 u lil tay or something
i'm really happy to see how positive and confident she is with herself now after watching the other video when she goes in depth about losing her first leg. she's amazing.
Wrote a college paper about TSS close to 30 years ago. Even called protor and gamble to find out why they put rayon in their tampons. You just get the run around. It's so sad that nothing has changed. Yes, you can die, and most girls are never taught this.
Yes. So true....I am just discovering it today 🤔
Yamel Camel for a flotation device?
Do you know where I can find good, trustfull information?
I guess if you're doing it the right way you can still use tampons. There's no need to freak out, just need to inform yourself.
Every box of tampons comes with this info about TSS.
I had no idea this existed. As the father of three daughters thank you. Your awesome.
I really wanna be this Strong...
How many times everyday we give up and lose the hope...??
You're an inspiration Lauren.
I love you so much
Watching this made me look up what TSS actually was.
I'm 60 & never heard of it, but I'm now wiser.
This is a remarkable young lady who seems to have taken what life has given her and made the best use of it.
Well done & stay positive. Life is for living, not for wasting on being miserable. Either way, you only have *ONE* chance.
She has majestic and regal beauty. Amazing what she's doing! We need more people like her
She's admirable because despite everything that happened to her she is confident, strong, keeps going and feels beautiful as it should be!
Her style and attitude reminds me of Billie eilish, and I just wanna point out how beautiful she is!
Same
Same!!
Same
Yea
Ikr
Just came across this great video. TSS is still out there and needs more exposure. So glad this beautiful young woman is thriving.
This girls is awesome! She's a warrior!
Idk if this is supposed to be inspiring or make me afraid of tampons
Yes.
Both
Don’t use them! Not worth it!
The Second one...
Use a diva cup :)! X
Actually hearing about her story was what made me switch to pads
Such a cool girl, looks badass with her golden legs as well
I guess it's because they were cut below the knee
She mighr be one of the strongest and most inspiring soul I have seen! Her vibe is so pure! 🔥
I would have probably rolled over and croaked! The fact that she is still living her life, the amount of respect I have for this woman! Respect!
Why? She just forgot her tampon and get life served at her for still being pretty?
@@danieljohansson8401 Calm down incel. Its pretty obvious they meant she didn't give up what she loved to do despite her condition. Not everybody can still love themselves in that situation.
@@beyzaercan3077 hahaha you are funny! Yes i bet the art of being pretty is soooo rewarding on a deep level. Incel? Is that your generic NPC response? Or do you have something better?
@@danieljohansson8401 modelling is something some people are passionate about. Like all the other career choices. Open your eyes! Its a huge world and everyone enjoys, values different things!
@@beyzaercan3077 ofcourse its exciting! But everybody can learn how to hit a pose! The passion lies in the complete absorption in Ones self image and the money you can make if you got the "look". You get to mingle with celebrities, drink champagne and live on a diet of coffe, adderall and grapefruit. The whole beauty industry is a scam that sells products through a fantasy. Dont drink the cool aid that vogue tries to sell you.
As an actor and a woman with a disability, I esteem you, Lauren Wasser, for fighting the good fight every day! Thank you for being a visible reminder of how our struggles make us, not break us, especially when approached with tenacity and heart. So proud of my wheelchair right now! 👩🦼✨
Hello Melissa how are you doing
@@markclinton8681
Apparently not too good huh??
She is what we call beauty
With her hair colour, yellowish skin and GOLDEN LEGS she looks like a badass cyberpunk character.
I never got why they alway make prosthetics look so weird and creepy. Like with glasses they should make then fashionable and cool looking.
An amputee kid could get an ironman looking leg or some cartoon theme that they like.
You could get a cool looking nike leg or Hugo Boss or whatever design company you like. Of course there isn’t a big market for it so it probably won’t happen.
If you have money you can get disability aids with cool designs. Some people send them to people who paint cars as there are so few specialists, plus then the art lasts for longer. With 3d printing they are working in making cool looking prosthetics that are a better price.
When I became disabled I was surprised how most metal equipment was grey & supports on your body are an odd beige colour- I am pretty sure no human is actually that skin shade.
Considering we have an aging population & there are a lot of disabled people, there really is a market for stylish disability aids, they just need to be an achievable price.
It's the cost, prosthetics are just stupidly expensive. It's like 20 to 70k for a hand prosthetic, mind you, not included the parts you need to replace every other month (which are also expensive, like like 500-1000 for a rubber joint fitting). What's worse, you probably need a new prosthetic every other years because of the wear and tear.
Oh, if you have model parents and are a model yourself, sure golden prosthetics are an option.
It exists, just a very small marked for outer shells that can be attached to the prosthetic to give it unique looks. Saw a kick starter about it some years ago. But for most if they do it, it wouldn't be a full-time business, more like a side thing along with other products when it comes to 3D printing soft/light weight shell printing. Some people also enjoy the metal/hook/rod/fake hand/fot look as it gives them attention and can joke with it.
Majority of amputees are elderly or feel a societal stigma of being an amputee, so they request their prosthetic leg look as cosmetically 'normal' as possible.
It's surprisingly easy and cheap to change the colour of the prosthetic socket. You can add a different coloured pigment to the resin to make a solid colour (gold) or provide a t-shirt/material with a cool design (iron man, a football jersey, nike top, graffiti etc) that then gets embedded into the resin of the socket. They always come out looking awesome!
You can also get clip on design attachments that are 3D printed to create the shape of your calf instead of just the pylon/pole or a foam covering. But they can be $500-1500 and aren't usually covered by standard funding agencies.
in the future people will propably amputate limbs only for cosmetic reasons
She handles all this like a ROCK STAR and she IS, IN FACT, A SUPERHERO/SUPERMODEL!!🎉😍😲
The problems only come with age
Seriously she's so beautiful and inspiration for all those who are going through some circumstances
Lady Golden Legs.
The 'joy de vivre' and confidence she radiates bedazzles me, I've never seen this on people with disabilities. That's the whole point... She doesn't live with this that way, while a lot of people (including myself) live with a mindset of what we can't do, what we don't have, what should have been and so on and so on. What an inspiring lady this is!
Thank you for uploading. I was impressed that she was moving her prosthesis like her real leg & foot without falling.
Great story, however, imagine a girl In the same situation poor. They wouldn't do anything.
g or a girl not as good looking
she knows that that's why she met with the congresswoman and is advocating to let women know about the dangers of our hygiene products
Anne Silva oh I didn’t realize you knew her
MORRIS6161 ...did you not watch the video? That’s an entire segment...
If being rich makes it where you can get the attention to make a positive change in this world, then why should she be demonized for being rich and/or pretty. And yes, it is unfair that poor and less attractive people don't get the attention they deserve.
She’s so famous in the medical school topic for microbiology! I’m happy for her that she is staying strong and keeping fighting to survive
I saw an interview she had and how to she told the horrifying story of what she's been through. Now she is on the other side, living the life she was meant to live. She deserves all the happiness and success. you rock Lauren!!!
Wow she is proof that doctors arent always right. She's still here. Such a blessing.
Nothing against doctors their amazing. I understand they dont know everything 😊😊
*they're
@@ruby994 thank u
its a known fact that tampons may cause toxic shock syndrome especially with misuse of feminine products. its amazing that she survived and more power to her :)
She’s proof that doctors are amazing. She wouldn’t be able to “be here” let alone, walk if it wasn’t for physicians and medicine.
@@latte2221 tampon shock iam not understanding it...what does it mean?
TSS is Real Ladies We Need To Teach Our Young Women and Educate them on Using Tampons!
Omg has she been toxicated by the tampons dis ı get it right
What is that mean..I use them😭😭
Hi
Sol Bedolla Please be careful! Make sure your changing your tampon regularly and Never leave the tampon in over night. If you have a tampon box, check out the booklet they send inside of it. It will tell you all about TSS and how it’s caused.
Does pads cause TSS? Im sorry for the dumb question but i didnt really understood whats TSS :(
She walks so natural even with those legs!
How awesome is she? Love her attitude, she’s beautiful inside and out💓
She is very strong, nice, beautiful. She is a role model.
"Strong?" Well her artificial legs are strong!
ILOVEU ILOVEU zara ILOVEU please wahtsap
Why does it appear in my recommendations even after watching it like 1 thousand times?
Anyone else?
Anastasia Holmes prob cause you've watched it a bunch of times lol
It’s because of the algorithm. It will recommend this to you even after you’ve watched it because it’s recommending it to tons of other people.
Its *because* you watched it 1000 times. So when YT asks itself "What video might this person like to watch?" It goes "I know! That one the amputee model again! *BRILLIANT!*"
@@abbinormal407 lmao 😂😂😂
that's why I use pads
iplaywithfoodtt Mohammed oh my gosh YESSSS

Someone's excited.
Yes girl n the same thing can happen even with pad
TH-cam Account no that’s not true do some research
Menstrual cup and thinx panties are the magic combo
Is it me or does she walk with those golden legs like they are her REAL legs, WOW!
Literally didn't know such a thing existed. Good thing i never wear tampons. Would liked to try but I'm so used with pads
This is likely to occur when u leave the tampon in for too long.
Really ?so why use it..pads are safer at least they are external..
Menstrual cups are also safer and healthier and more ecofriendly
this is true pads are safer 💕
Same girl.Pads are safer and better than tampons.
Yo. I didnt know there was a model with prosthetic legs.
Edit: thanks guys for the likes I'm watching this again because I love this video. Theres also a singer named Viktoria Modesta with a prosthetic and I love her too. I have a prosthetic leg myself and i remember I was very self conscious about it because people would stare, now I love being stared at and I'm confident as a 27 year old woman. People get scared to ask questions but I dont mind and my family loves me so yeah...🥰
Love her attitude. So cool, positive, & stylish.
Digital Media love you
What a strong woman! Not letting something which could have dragged her down, become something positive in her life! Amazing!
She reminds me of Billie Elish for some reason.
Also she seems like an amazing person to be friends with
Yeah
Billie is not as positive
Maybe her style, thug guy 👌
WTH I was just thinking that!

She is not disable ,she is differently able....she is adorable
@@rasheesyed8834 hi! Just wanted to tell you that to disabled people, “differently abled” is actually a bit offensive. The word disabled shouldn’t come with bad connotations, just as the word abled shouldn’t come with bad connotations. Using various euphemisms for someone’s state of existence implies that to be disabled is a bad thing. I know you didn’t mean it that way and you aren’t doing any harm, I just wanted to tell you for the future!
She's an amazing woman. Brave, strong and beautiful
This same thing happened to a guy I know. He lost both his legs and a few fingers. This could happen to anyone.

Это здорово, что у людей с ограниченными возможностями есть шанс жить полноценной жизнью. Это практически самое главное. Думаю, многие падают духом ещё и потому, что не имеют возможность приобрести протезы, у некоторых даже коляски нормальной нет. Человек становится очень ограниченным и зависимым в таких обстоятельствах. И это очень угнетает.
