Multilayered textile material for containing liquids and associated systems and methods

A garment configured to be used in containing a liquid expelled from a body, the garment comprising:

• a first portion positioned in the garment to receive the liquid, the first portion including:
• a first layer configured to contact the body, the first layer including a first knitted pattern having a plurality of channels configured to allow the liquid to flow in a first plane towards a plurality of pores that allow the liquid to flow in a direction generally orthogonal to the first plane;
• a second layer opposite the first layer from the body, the second layer including a matrix of hydrophilic fibers in a second knitted pattern to disperse the liquid in a second plane generally parallel with the first plane and at least one section generally corresponding to at least one pore of the plurality of pores, the at least one pore extending through the section of the second layer;
• a third layer opposite the second layer from the first layer, the third layer including a hydrophilic material configured to absorb the liquid from the second layer and hold the liquid in the third layer;
• and
• a fourth layer opposite the third layer from the second layer, the fourth layer including a moisture-resistant material configured to at least partially block the liquid from moving through the fourth layer;
• and
• a second portion attached to the first portion.

A textile material for managing a bodily fluid comprising:

• a first layer configured to disperse the bodily fluid arriving at an inner surface of the first layer, wherein the first layer includes
• a first material having a knitted pattern having a plurality of generally horizontal hydrophobic channels and a plurality of generally vertical hydrophobic channels, wherein the generally horizontal channels are configured to disperse the bodily fluid towards the generally vertical channels, and wherein the plurality of vertical channels are configured to draw the bodily fluid vertically away from the inner surface;
• a second material in contact with the first material opposite the inner surface, the second material having a knitted matrix of hydrophilic fibers configured to receive the bodily fluid from the generally vertical channels, disperse the bodily fluid in a horizontal plane, and draw the bodily fluid towards an outer surface of the first layer, wherein:
• the knitted matrix of hydropilic fibers has a first thread count on an upper portion of the second material adjacent to the first material and a second thread count higher than the first thread count on a lower portion of the second material spaced apart from the first material, and
• at least one of the vertical channels extends from the inner surface to the outer surface through the second material;
• and
• a second layer in contact with the outer surface, the second layer comprising a hydrophilic material configured to receive the bodily fluid from the first layer and contain the bodily fluid in the second layer;
• and
• a third layer opposite the second layer from the first layer, the third layer including a moisture-resistant material in contact with the second layer, wherein the moisture-resistant material is configured to block the bodily fluid from flowing through the third layer.
