is also training for the 2018 Winter Paralympics

A 23-year-woman who was born without legs didn't just defy the odds to be a multi-sport athlete - she's also now forging a career as an underwear model.

When Kanya Sesser, 23, was born without legs in Thailand, her parents abandoned her on the steps of a Buddhist temple.

But since then, she has overcome the odds on to prove that her handicap doesn't limit her by mastering skateboard, skiing, and surfing - and landing a campaign with the underwear company PantyProp.

PantyProp's undies are designed to conceal a sanitary napkin and hold it in place, all while preventing leaks and discomfort.

In the company's new campaign, Kanya is seen rocking the underwear while lounging around, reading a book, add brushing her teeth - which she has to do while perched atop the sink.

'It's about women empowerment - be comfortable in your skin,' she told People. 'I'm sexy in my own skin.'

Kanya, who was adopted by parents in Portland, Oregon, when she was five, doesn't shy away from having her picture taken in her skivvies, and said she'd never been shy for photos.

'I just love being in front of the camera,' she said. 'Ever since I was little, I would take pictures a lot just to have fun and show my life story.'

This isn't her first time stripping down for a photographer. In September, she made headlines for another scantily-clad photoshoot in which she wore several different flirty bra-and-panty sets.

'The focus of the photos I do is free beauty, free body, free mind. I'm fit, and I feel comfortable [in lingerie],' she said.

The reason she's so fit is because Kanya is a major athlete. Not only does she like to hit the slopes and hang ten, but she also prefers using a skateboard to get around then her wheelchair.
