FOR EVERY AGE, SIZE, & STYLE

Hoop sizing for adults

There is a hoop for EVERY BODY!
The bigger the hoop, the easier it is to spin around the waist! 🎯
These hoops are bigger, heavier, and easier to use than those flimsy dollar store hoops! 😎
​
Hoop sizes for adults are measured in inches around the outer diameter of the hoop.
For many people, the Adult Medium is an ideal beginner size.
Remember- the bigger the hoop, the easier it is for waist hooping.
​And, if you have a bigger body, then you'll want a bigger hoop.

To choose the right size beginner adult hoop, use a tape measure to measure the distance from the floor to abdomen. This length is your hoop's outer diameter.
​Or, 
hold the hoop in front of your body and the top of it should be between the belly button and chest.

ADULT SIZES/ HOOP DIAMETER 
SMALL 38"-40" 
MEDIUM 40"-43" 
​LARGE 44"-46" 
*XL 47"-55"
(The bigger → the easier.) 

​*XL hoops only available by custom order.

​Adult hoops weigh about 1.5lbs.
Youth hoops weigh about 1lb.
That's enough heft to give good momentum without the bruising from "weighted exercise hoops" - which are usually 3lbs- 5lbs.

Hoop sizing for KIDS

Our kids hoops come in three sizes.
Youth Small for ages 2-4.
Youth Medium for ages 4-8.
Youth Large for 8-12.
*The Youth Large is the same size as the Adult Small.

HOOP CARE

With proper care, these handmade hoops will last many years.
​Avoid storing your hoop in extreme heat. 
​Clean with damp cloth. 


DO it yourself 

Want to do it yourself?
Perfect! The world needs more hoop makers!

  • I use 3/4-in polyethylene tubing in 160 PSI for adult hoops.
It usually comes in a 100 foot coil and is available at big box hardware stores.
It's also called PE tubing.  A medium size adult hoop uses about 11 feet of tubing. 


  • I use 1/2-in 125 Psi polyethylene pipe for kids' hoop sizes. 

  • Hoopologie has two options for connector inserts for 3/4" PE tubing.

  • You need a tool to cut your tubing. I use a ratcheting PVC cutter.

  • You will need a heat source like a hair dryer, electric kettle, or pot of hot water to soften the ends of the tubing in order to insert the connector. 

  • I use a combination of decorative tapes and gripping tapes to give shine, sparkle, and texture to the hoop. 
Hoopologie has a vast selection of decorative and grip (gaffers) tape.

  • Hoopologie has helpful hoop making video tutorials.

OTHER KINDS OF HOOPS

Our handmade hoops are made out of polyethylene tubing.
The weight and density of the tubing is great for adult beginner hoops and kids hoops.
It is sturdy and accommodating for many styles of hooping. 

POLYPRO & HDPE
Polypro and HDPE hoops use specialty tubing that is lighter weight and more "responsive" than polyethylene hoops.
These hoops come in a variety of colors and size options.

While we can order materials to make these hoops,
you can also go straight to the source and get them shipped anywhere.
Hoopologie offers the widest range of pre-made polypro & HDPE hoops and tubing coils.
