wraps are not really for cushioning your knuckles. They are to keep all the tiny bones in your hand in place so they do not break. Stick with 180" mexican style wraps. There are a ton of videos on youtube that will teach you how to wrap them properly.

Wraps are just as important as stretching. ALWAYS make time to do it properly. I am sure your instructors would have no problem with you missing a few minutes of class time to make sure your hands are wrapped correctly.
