Compression Floss Bands

Floss bands are flat compression bands. You wrap one firmly around a joint or muscle, move through a few reps or a stretch, then take it off. People use them in warm-ups and mobility sessions, often alongside massage balls and foam rollers.

Width is the main choice. Rocktape RockFloss comes 5cm wide or 10cm wide, both 213cm long. The narrow band is easier to wrap around wrists, elbows and ankles, and the wide one covers more of a knee or thigh. Pure Strength compression bands come in black, red and blue, and gyms can buy a 10 pack of black bands. For other band types, see the resistance bands range.
