I used old tubes for bar comfort when touring.
Put the New bar tape on top on the tube.

I have been wrapping my bars with old inner tubes for a long time. They are great for a bike which might get wet, they last, they are cheap ... in fact, free. When tubes are too patched or torn I throw them in a bucket and use them for all kinds of stuff.

One benefit is that the tubes stick pretty well ... i don't have to tuck the ends by the plug, I just wrap them really tight and they stay put. Up at the clamp, I tuck one end of the tube under a wrap of tube and viola ... no tape needed. When I want to change the bars or whatever, I just unwrap ... and rewrap later.

I usually split the tube so it isn't so thick, and double-wrap the parts where I want more padding.

I don't wear one of those stupid wigs when I do it though.
