Without the support of a towel or similar object, you may find it too tiring or painful to hold your knee in place. If you don’t want to use a towel, you could try a water bottle or a round foam massaging roller.
It’s best to wrap your knee with the base layer using the same method as you’re using for your actual sports tape. Simply follow the procedure for wrapping your knee, but use the base layer instead of your sports tape. Once your base layer is in place, apply your sports tape.

This serves as another anchor.
