Hand wraps?

[Almus Monk]

Im about 70kg/170lb, have average size hands.
I bought some londale hand wraps and I gotta know is it me not being able to wrap my hands properly or do these look so different to other wraps I see. There black and much more thicker than the ones u seen boxers use before a fight.

there seems to be always space when I go over my thumbs and when i finish, and if i do it tigher my hands feel like there is no blood going to them lol.
there not the type that sits properly on my skin or stick, just like any other material.

is it me or do these wraps suck?
what normal hand wraps would you recommend? what size?

Iv used these videos to help me

Are yours the stretchy kind or are they the "traditional" kind?

Most people tend to go for the stretchy kind as they tend to mold themselves to the hand better, giving a snug fit without being too constrictive.

Perhaps, try these ones.

Why did I think it said ''hand faps''?

Well, they are different than what boxers use before a fight. Before fights boxers have their hands wrapped with gauze/bandages - not cotton wraps

they are not the stretchy kind, more fabric material.

Then you might want to try the stretchy kind. As a whole people tend to prefer those for a lot of the same reasons you have.

They are generally easier to get a snug, supportive wrap without becoming too tight as to cut the circulation off. Your hands will also swell a little as you train (much like your feet swell after being on them for hours), and the elasticity will provide a bit of give in them, so they continue to be comfortable.
