Go to your local pharmacy and ask them to sell you a box of four inch (20 cm) stockinette. Most people use cotton because it's cheaper but the Nylon will last much longer and is smoother to boot.
You may even be able to buy this on-line.

I've used 6" Ace bandages for ever and I find I get total contact when I use them. I tried stockinette and wasn't able to pull it through, I just got stuck. I tried a nylon pull sock (kite?) and it was really hard work and cut into the hand, even wearing the fingerless gloves that I use when I don my legs with Ace bandages. They are also quite expensive approx $150 ea. A side point... don't even try the cheaper elastic bandages, they just rip. Ace bandages will last for months.
