Claim 17:
18. A system for maintaining moisture in a textile electrode, the system comprising:
a textile layer having a textile electrode region knitted therein and an insulated region adjacent to the textile electrode region, the textile electrode region and insulated region together defining a knitted continuous textile section, wherein the knitted continuous textile section is knitted using an intarsia technique;
the textile layer having an inner side and an outer side opposite the inner side, the inner side of the textile electrode region being exposed and configured to contact against a user's skin;
a reservoir positioned above the outer side of the textile electrode region;
an outer sealing layer positioned above the reservoir, the outer sealing layer surrounding the reservoir and the textile electrode region,
wherein the textile electrode region is knitted from an electrically conductive yarn having an exposed electrically conductive surface configured to permit water to migrate through the textile electrode region and into the reservoir, and
wherein the insulated region is knitted from an electrically insulated or electrically inert yarn,
the outer sealing layer configured to prevent water migration into the reservoir other than through the textile electrode region before entering the reservoir.
