  • Publication number: 20220054298
    Abstract: Fluid collection assemblies and systems and methods of using the same are disclosed herein. An example fluid collection assembly includes a fluid impermeable barrier. The fluid impermeable barrier at least partially defines a waist opening and two leg openings. The waist opening and the two leg openings are configured to have a waist and two legs of an individual positioned therein, respectively. The fluid impermeable barrier also defines at least one fluid outlet. The fluid collection assembly further includes at least one porous material conforming to at least a portion of the fluid impermeable barrier. The porous material may be adjacent to the outlet defined by the fluid impermeable barrier.
