There are several styles of handwraps you can buy. see Equipment
Mexican style is popular in the gym, they are made with elastic material, and contour to your hand.
For small hands, 120" handwraps are good.
For medium to large hands, you will want 170" or longer.

ADVICE AND TIPS
If your handwraps don't feel right, do them over.
Proper tightness of handwraps is important. Wraps should be tight enough to stay firmly in place, but not too tight or they will cut off your circulation. It takes practice.
Handwraps have a top and bottom. Some handwraps are clearly marked "This Side Down". The reason is that the Velcro should be face up when finished. If you started with the wrong side down is no big deal. On the last step around the wrist, flip(twist) the wraps over.
Handwraps can be machine washed. Hang up to dry. Handwraps get tangled when washed in a machine. If needed, buy a special handwrap wash bag or nylon bag.
Depending on how much you sweat, it is suggested to roll the handwraps back up when finished with your workout.
If you work out several times a week, buy a couple pairs of handwraps.
For smaller hands, avoid wrapping too many times around the palm, because the handwraps will bunch up. For very small hands, you might need to include a couple figure 8's and extra times around the wrist.
