16mm (5/8″) HDPE White “Natural” collapsible hula hoops

A milky white, silky smooth bare HDPE hula hoop in 16mm (5/8″).

HDPE offers an in-between alternative to the heavy duty PE and the lightweight Polypro. More responsive than PE and more durable than polypro, HDPE is favoured by a wide range of hoopers from confident beginners to more experienced hoopers wanting a little more weight than Polypro offers.

Un-taped “Naked” Hula Hoops are great for more experienced hula hoopers, or beginners wanting a lighter hoop to learn off-body moves. Their smooth finish allows them to move effortlessly through tricks without the added weight and texture of tape.

All hoops are measured by their Outside Diameter (OD) in centimetres. If you would like to order in inches, please choose the closest size and put your request in the order notes. You can see my conversion chart here.

All hoops come standard with one push button to make them collapsible, unless requested otherwise. For extra push buttons please see the listing in our Hoop Add-ons section.

A single push button makes the hoop able to coil down on itself some or all of the way depending on its size and tubing (message me about specifics). It is not recommended that small and medium sized hoops are doubled down on themselves all the way as this can cause the tubing and/or connector to kink or crack. There are techniques to make this more successful that you can google or ask me about.

Included in the price is optional sanding on the inside of your hoop for grip (please let me know your preference in the order notes). Please see the Add-ons section of the shop for grip tape options.

WHAT SIZE HOOP SHOULD I GET?

• Mini: 30 – 60cm: For toddler age children and more advanced hoopers wanting to explore mini hoop tech.
• Small: 60 – 75cm: This is the size range for preschool age children, or for more advanced adult hoopers ready to move on from their larger hoop and practice more off body tech.
• Medium: 75 – 85cm: This is a perfect size range for older children, and for more experienced adult hoopers as a great all-rounder for hoop dance combining on and off body moves.
• Large: 85 – 95cm: This is the range of sizes most common for beginner hoopers or those wanting to focus on on-body hooping.
• Extra: 100cm and up: This is a perfect size for unsure beginners, learning tricky on body tricks, and those wanting to hoop for fitness and weight loss. The large size slows the hoop’s rotations making it easier to develop co-ordination at your own pace.

**These guidelines are for general advice, and may not always apply. For hoopers who are particularly tall or curvy, a larger hoop can be easier to start with. Please send me a message for more specific advice.
