The Chalk Bucket Gymnastics Community has had a good thread going on Facebook with comments relating to one of Rik Feeney’s articles called Get A Grip On Your Rip (PDF).
Dale Russell recommended a product that I like too:
The English Bulldog Neoprene Wristband is designed to protect the wrist from rips and cuts caused by grips. The English Bulldog Neoprene Wristband is constructed of firm neoprene rubber to provide moderate support for the wrist without obstructing the hand. English Bulldog Neoprene Wristbands are available in three sizes (S, M, L).
CALL 1-800-877-5294.
US$9.00/pair
For wrist rips that do not heal, the best strategy is to put vasoline under a neoprene wrist band to reduce friction. On top can be grips alone. Or a cloth wrist band with grips.
It’s not foolproof. But wrist bleeding is reduced for most gymnasts.
Update: A similar product is available from US Glove. Thanks Greg.
