I put a pair on the outside edge by the hoods to give the heel of my palm a resting place. I take 2 pairs and use them to build up the bend into a big comfy area.

The instructions that come with them are useless. You need to place them slightly high and then wrap them several times. The tape will stretch and let them settle. It will take a few tries (at least) before you get it right.

But the end result is wide, cushioned areas to rest your hand.
