1. A garment component for use in a garment, the garment component comprising:
a liquid impermeable base layer;
a liquid impermeable peripheral layer disposed along a periphery of the liquid impermeable base layer; and
a space defined by the liquid impermeable base and peripheral layers,
wherein when the garment comprising the garment component is worn on a user, the garment forms a sealing engagement between the liquid impermeable peripheral layer and the user's skin,
such that the liquid impermeable base and peripheral layers prevent liquid flow into and out of the space and the space collects bodily fluids from the user, and
such that the sealing engagement prevents liquid exchange between the space and an external environment.
