Abstract
A wrist wrap for use in supporting a wrist during weight-lifting includes a strip, at least one tab, and first and second fastener sections. The tab extends from a first end of the strip and is made of a single ply of tab material. The first and second fastener sections are disposed on the wrist wrap so as to engage one another to secure one to the other. A user may hold the end of the tab in place with a tip of a finger, thereby holding the strap in place against her wrist while she uses the other hand to wrap and secure the strap. She may then tuck the tab into the wrappings.
