Default heavy bag gloves and hand wraps?

I just started using the heavy bag for a workout and I really enjoy it. My problem is, I don't know a thing about boxing equipment. It took several weeks and very sore hands/wrists to figure out that I needed hand wraps. Now I'm not sure what type of gloves to use. My first pair have ripped near the palm and I just received the new pair that I ordered. These new ones appear heavy duty, but when trying them out, my hands feel very unsupported inside of them. When I ordered them, the Internet site suggested (based on my weight of 220) that I needed XLG. But I have a feeling that XLG is just too big. I've thought about using 180" hand wraps and really bulk up my fist, and then try using the gloves; do you think this will work, or should I just order some smaller gloves. Note: I've currently been using the 108" wraps, but just recently learned that that size is normaly for youth/women. Thanks for the help.
