In some embodiments, a fluid collection device includes a fluid impermeable barrier (202) defining an opening (206) sized to receive a penis (50) therethrough. The fluid collection device includes an attachment system (250) secured to the outer surface of the fluid impermeable barrier. The attachment system includes one or more adhesive regions (254) extending at least partially around the opening such that portions of the one or more adhesive regions are positioned on opposing sides of the opening. The attachment system also includes two adhesive covers removably secured to the one or more adhesive regions and positioned such that the opening is positioned between the two adhesives covers. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A fluid collection device, comprising: a fluid impermeable barrier having a first portion, a second portion, and a chamber defined between the first portion and the second portion, the first portion including an outer surface and an inner surface and defining an opening sized to receive a penis therethrough;

and the opening of the fluid impermeable barrier is positioned between the distal end region and the proximal region and between the two side regions. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The fluid collection device of claim 4, wherein the one or more adhesive regions are positioned between the opening and each of the two side portions, and each of the adhesive covers is at least partially positioned on the one or more adhesive regions between the opening and a different side portion of the two side portions. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The fluid collection device of claim 5, wherein the one or more adhesive regions and at least a portion of each of the two adhesive covers are positioned at least partially between the opening and the distal end region. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The fluid collection device of claim 6, wherein the two adhesive covers each include a terminating edge positioned between the opening and the distal end region. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The fluid collection device of claim 7, wherein the terminating edge of the two adhesive covers abut one another between the opening and the distal end region. ### Claim 9 (depends on 5) The fluid collection device of claim 5, wherein the one or more adhesive regions include a continuous adhesive region. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The fluid collection device of claim 9, wherein the continuous adhesive region is a substantially U-shaped continuous adhesive region and the two adhesive covers are positioned adjacent one another to form a U-shape substantially complementary to the U-shaped continuous adhesive region. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The fluid collection device of claim 9, wherein the continuous adhesive region is a substantially V-shaped continuous adhesive region and the two adhesive covers are positioned adjacent to one another to form a V-shape substantially complementary to the V-shaped continuous adhesive region. ### Claim 12 (depends on 9) The fluid collection device of claim 9, wherein the continuous adhesive region is a substantially O-shaped continuous adhesive region around the opening and the two adhesive covers are positioned adjacent to one another to form an O-shape substantially complementary to the O-shaped continuous adhesive region. ### Claim 13 (depends on 4) The fluid collection device of claim 4, wherein the one or more adhesive regions include two adhesive regions spaced from one another between the opening and the distal end region, each of the two adhesive covers removably secured to a different one of the two adhesive regions. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The fluid collection device of claim 13, wherein the two adhesive covers each include a terminating edge spaced from one another between the opening and the two adhesive regions. ### Claim 15 (depends on 13) The fluid collection device of claim 13, wherein: at least a portion of the one or more adhesive regions is positioned between the opening and the proximal end region; a first adhesive cover of the two adhesive covers is removably secured to at least the portion of the one or more adhesive regions and positioned between the opening and the proximal end region; at least a portion of the one or more adhesive regions is positioned between the opening and the distal end region; and a second adhesive cover of the two adhesive covers is removably secured to at least the portion of the one or more adhesive regions and positioned between the opening and the distal end region. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The fluid collection device of claim 15, wherein each of the two adhesive covers are substantially arc shaped. ### Claim 17 (depends on 1) The fluid collection device of claim 1, further comprising a tube configured to provide fluid communication between the chamber and a vacuum source. ### Claim 18 (depends on 1) The fluid collection device of claim 1, wherein the fluid permeable body includes a fluid permeable porous fiber structure and a wicking material positioned to be proximate skin of the user and between the skin of the user and the fluid permeable porous fiber structure. ### Claim 19 A method of collecting fluid, the method comprising: positioning a penis of a user at least partially in a chamber defined by a fluid collection device and through an opening defined by a first portion of a fluid impermeable barrier of the fluid collection device, the fluid impermeable barrier having a second portion and a chamber defined between the first portion and the second portion of the fluid impermeable barrier and the fluid collection device including a fluid permeable body that is substantially planar and positioned at least partially within the chamber; removing a first adhesive cover from a first adhesive region secured to an outer surface of the first portion of the fluid impermeable barrier, the first adhesive region extending at least partially around the opening such that the first adhesive region is positioned at least partially between the opening and a first side portion of the fluid impermeable barrier; adhering the first adhesive region to at least one of pelvic, suprapubic, or abdominal skin of the user on a first side of the penis; after adhering the first adhesive region to the at least one of pelvic, suprapubic, or abdominal skin of the user on the first side of the penis, removing a second adhesive cover from a second adhesive region secured to the outer surface of the first portion of the impermeable barrier, the second adhesive region extending at least partially around the opening such that the second adhesive region is positioned at least partially between the opening and a second side portion of the fluid impermeable barrier opposite to the first side portion;
