What is Foam Underwrap?
Underwrap tape is a lightweight foam pre-wrap tape. It is the perfect preparation for use beneath adhesive
and rigid zinc oxide tapes or cohesive elastic bandages. It is designed to protect sensitive skin, reduces
friction, chafing and scraping.
What is Foam Underwrap made of?
Made of high quality PU sponge, non-adhesive and strong stretchability, highly flexible, breathability, good
adhesion and not easy to slide. Suitable for the bottoming protection of all kinds of sports tapes and sports
protective gears before use.
What is Foam Underwrap used for?
Pre-wrap is pre-taping foam underwrap designed to help protect skin from tape chafing and sticking. It is put
on before athletic tape. It can be used to hold pads and socks in place and as a protective wrap inside hiking
boots, ski boots, and other athletic footwear.
1. Wrap the area you intend to tape in the underwrap
– a single layer is usually enough.
2. Foam underwrap has no stick at all but does cling
lightly to itself. If you struggle with it, try some pre-tape
adhesive or a thin smear of petroleum jelly to give it
some tack.
3. The underwrap does not need to be tight but try to
keep it close to the skin without any slack.
4. Once the area is wrapped, apply the strapping tape
on top. (You need to get this part right first time,
because if you pull back the tape the underwrap will
tear away with it.)
5. Once the tape job is complete, you can tear or cut
away any excess underwrap which protrudes at the edges.
