You should use Underwrap anytime you want to use a strapping tape, but don’t want to stick anything directly to the skin. This could be due to allergies, player preference, comfort or the are being too hairy to tape.

Underwrap will only last the length of one strapping application. It will be easily ripped and removed when the main application on top is removed.

Underwrap works by prevents you from sticking any tape directly to the skin. The foam creates a thin barrier between the skin and strapping tape above.

Although both tapes are designed protect the skin prior to taping, which one you choose will depend on the area that you’re taping, whether any glue is allowed to touch the skin and whether you have time to cut strips of Fixation Tape.

Underwrap is primarily used to protect your skin from the potential irritation of wearing adhesive tapes (i.e. Zinc Oxide & EAB). Acting as a thin barrier, Underwrap is applied before overlaying with strapping tape.

It’s also highly effective against tape chafing and alternatively, can be used to secure cold packs and bandages in place during use. It’s made from a lightweight foam that is porous, water-repellent and really easy to use.

Fixation Tape is rigid and can’t be ripped by hand, so you’ll need a pair of scissors to cut your strips. Because it’s adhesive there’s no need to wrap an entire joint and you can use smaller strips as anchors to help Zinc Oxide Tape stay in place more effectively.

The worst that can happen if that you create an uncomfortable application. You are unlikely to causes and circulatory issues when only applying Underwrap.

Making a headband from Underwrap is really easy.

1. Rip off a good length of pre-wrap (about the circumference of your neck).
2. Bring the pre wrap behind your head and tie the ends together.
3. Rip off any excess Underwrap after tying.
4. Stretch the Underwrap over your head and manipulate it to the width you want.
