Subject: Custom Hoop Sizes and Weights 

I want to buy a few weighted hula hoops but I'm confused about the sizes and weight. I've read so many things about different preferences, I don't know where to begin.

I read that a good size first hula hoop is
-160 psi
- 3/4-1 inch tubing
- 42 inch diameter

I don't completely understand these numbers but which of your hoops are close to these specifications & are they all the same size tubing?

In other words i want a somewhat big, heavyish, and pretty hoop.  What do you recommend?

Thank you!!!

Hi there-

That IS a good first size but there are a couple things to take into consideration.  The 160 psi is pretty firm, not flexible at all so it’s not best to use it for hooping around any part of your body besides the waist. It really can cause bruising. 

A lot of companies sell 42” hoops but that’s how we got into business in the first place. Shorter folks do better with hoops sized to fit them. So best rule of thumb is to measure from the ground to about 2” above your belly button if you’re a beginner, around belly button height if could hoops as a kid and believe you will pick it up quickly.

Let me know if you have any other questions!
