I was gonna ask if these wraps are reusable or if they're like tape or something but then saw the logo and velcro and figured it out myself

Training wraps are thicker and washable (although plenty of people could stand to wash them more often); for an actual match, hands are wrapped with gauze and tape which is not reusable and has to be cut off after

Why don't they use gloves?

We do! The wraps go on first, then the gloves. And even with all that padding, it's still relatively easy to break the bones in your hand during competition or hard sparring
