Goldbeaters skin* is traditionally used to wrap reeds with - PTFE tape (Teflon or plumbers' tape) being a more modern and much more user friendly alternative. It doesn't come undone when wet and sticks to itself.

I always use wired reeds as I can adjust the aperture with the wire - the PTFE tape also covers the wire so it won't cut into your lip.

* Goldbeaters skin is the same tissue-thin skin used for making skin pads (the so-called 'fish skin'), gut strings and also the same stuff as sausage skin which is the intestinal membrane from cattle.
