Abstract

Garments may include a fluid retention assembly coupled to the garment base interior side and having an outer perimeter. The fluid retention assembly includes an absorbent layer configured to absorb fluid excreted from the wearer when the garment is worn, and a moisture-impermeable layer that underlies the absorbent layer and separates the garment base interior side from the absorbent-layer exterior side. The moisture-impermeable layer is configured to restrict fluid from exiting the fluid retention assembly to the garment base interior side. The moisture-impermeable layer extends to and wraps around at least a portion of the outer perimeter of the fluid retention assembly and is coupled to the assembly interior side, thereby creating a moisture lock to retain fluids within the fluid retention assembly.
