It is not only important to protect you hand but also to protect your head, body and mouth with equipment like boxing helmet, body protector and mouth-guard.

Mexican bandages are similar to cotton wraps but they are woven with elastic fibers. They are not as durable as cotton bandages because they are elastic wears so they are the good option for short-term training.
The bandages of the competition are composed of gauze and tape. The boxing regulations specify exact length to make sure each boxer has the same amount of boxing bandage. Since these are not reusable, they are not practical for everyday use.
