Cotton Handwraps VS. Semi-Elastic (Mexican Style)

What is your preference?

I'm a cotton guy - when I use the semi-elastic I usually put them on too tight.

CSI makes a product they call "MMA Handwraps." They are skinnier (1.5" as opposed to the standard 2") and shorter (120" long) and made from semi-elastic cotton material. I love them... until I started using them I was using the Ringside Junior Handwraps that I had been using since I was a little kid...
