The present disclosure generally relates to a garment component (100) for use in a garment (200). The garment component (100) comprises: a liquid impermeable base layer (110); a liquid impermeable peripheral layer (120) disposed along a periphery of the liquid impermeable base layer (110); and a space (130) defined by the liquid impermeable base and peripheral layers (110,120). When the garment (200) comprising the garment component (100) is worn on a user, the garment (200) forms a sealing engagement between the liquid impermeable peripheral layer (120) and the user's skin (300), such that the liquid impermeable base and peripheral layers (110,120) prevent liquid flow into and out of the space (130) and the space (130) collects bodily fluids from the user.
