Boxing Bandages
Hand Wraps in the Boxing Shop
Boxing is a tough sport. Accordingly, boxers must protect themselves as well as possible from injuries, for example, by wearing appropriate protective gear such as hand wraps. These are not only of particular importance for classical boxing but also for related sports like Mixed Martial Arts (MMA).
What Are Hand Wraps?
Simply put, hand wraps are long, flexible bands that are wrapped around the hands and wrists in multiple layers to stabilize the hand within the boxing glove. This helps protect the fragile bones in the hand from fractures and splintering as much as possible.
However, hand wraps serve additional functions. On one hand, they ensure that the hands do not slip inside the boxing glove; on the other, they absorb the sweat (which almost always occurs) on the hands and keep them nice and dry.
By the way: Wearing hand wraps is advisable not only for fighting but also for training. The strikes on the punching bag can also be very hard, so the finger bones, tendons, ligaments, and muscles should be optimally protected against injuries.
The usual length of hand wraps ranges from 2.5 m to 4.5 m, with a width of about 5 cm. Modern wraps feature a thumb loop, allowing them to be wrapped around the entire hand without any annoying creases.

Things to Consider When Wrapping Hand Wraps
Practice makes perfect! This is especially true for wrapping hand wraps. It’s no coincidence that professional boxers have team members dedicated solely to their gear and wrapping their hands. However, even novices can take steps to avoid at least the most common mistakes when wrapping. Here are some tips:
Not Too Tight and Not Too Loose!
The right tightness is crucial for the protective effect of the wraps. If they are too tight, it can lead to circulation problems in extreme cases. On the other hand, if the wraps are too loose, they may slip, introducing further risks of injury. The wraps should fit snugly but must not cause any numbness in the hands.
The Right Thickness of the Wrap
Choosing the appropriate thickness of hand wraps is largely a matter of experience. The rule is: the hands should be well protected but still allow for some movement. When in doubt, try multiple times to find the right thickness.
Conclusion: Hand Wraps, Hand Wraps & Co. Are a Must!
They make boxing safer and more comfortable, providing a good feel for the hands. Hand wraps are an indispensable accessory for this sport. In addition to simple gauze wraps, high-tech materials are increasingly being used today, such as the innovative gel wraps, which optimally protect the hands from the impacts of hard punches.
