Hand wraps
Hand wraps support your wrist and knuckles under your boxing gloves and absorb sweat, so your gloves last longer. Elastic wraps you wind on yourself; inner gloves you pull on like a glove. Below you'll find out which length you need and how to wear them.

Elastic, cotton or inner glove
Elastic wraps, also known as Mexican-style wraps, stretch slightly and close snugly around the wrist and hand. They're the most used in kickboxing and Muay Thai. Cotton wraps don't stretch and sit a little looser, but some boxers find them more comfortable in long sessions. Inner gloves are thin gloves with gel or padding on the knuckles and a short wrist strap; you pull them on in seconds and they're handy if you find wrapping too much hassle or do short pad sessions. For sparring and competition, wrapped hand wraps remain the best support for the wrist.
Which length and how do you wrap?
Hand wraps come in lengths of about 2.5 to 4.5 metres. Children and people with small hands take 2.5 metres; most adults 3.5 or 4.5 metres, so there's enough fabric to go around the wrist and knuckles a few times. Start with the loop around your thumb, wrap three times around your wrist, then over the knuckles, between the fingers and finish back on the wrist with the velcro. Not too tight: your fingers shouldn't tingle. Billy shows how to wrap in the first session; after a few times it comes naturally.
Washing and replacing
Wash hand wraps after every few sessions in a laundry bag at low temperature and let them air-dry. Roll them up again straight after drying with the velcro on the outside, so they're ready to go next time. Buy two or three pairs so you always have a dry pair. Replace them when the elastic goes slack or the velcro no longer grips. Hand wraps are cheap and keep your gloves clean, so don't skimp on them.
