This is one of my most popular taped hoops! Unfortunately when I did a big listing edit on the shop I recreated this listing so it lost its history of good reviews that had been linked to it but everyone was very pleased. It’s such a subtle yet beautiful hula hoop.
——- Because this tape is transparent, it looks a bit different on clear polypro tubing versus white hdpe tubing. Please look at the second image fore reference. This is the tape used on all of the opal reflective hoops AND it can be added to your LED hoop for an upcharge.
***These polypro/hdpe hula hoops are lightweight. Most beginners prefer a heavier tubing option like the kind used in my 'Beginner Hoop' section, but these are perfect for learning dance/tricks.
Choose your tubing and size details and please message me if you need help. You can pick your tubing type, or you can select a 'DEFAULT' option. You can also CHOOSE AN EXACT SIZE or select 'STANDARD' option. The defaults/standards are as follow:

For selecting your own details:
Polypro is clear and HDPE is white. They are about the same weight but polypro is more stiff/rigid and HDPE is more flexible/bouncy. HDPE is more durable and is a better choice for beginners and children. Polypro is often preferred by experienced hoopers but can run risk of cracks/breaks. **THIS SHOP IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR BROKEN POLYPRO** (But if its fixable I love to help)
3/4" OD tubing is the thickest tubing and most popular between 27-38"
5/8 tubing is thinner than he 3/4 and is most popular between 26-32"
1/2 tubing is very very thin...so it is best when made smaller than 30"
*Polypro and HDPE tubing is classified by the tubing's od while beginner tubing uses the ID. So a 3/4" OD polypro/ hdpe hoop compares very closely in thickness to the 1/2" ID tubing from hardware stores that is used on beginner hoops.
Your purchase includes a layer of clear protective tape and grip tape along inside edge (if desired). Tell me in the order comments what color grip tape you would like.
