What is a Polypro Hoop?
A Polypro Hoop is a lightweight and responsive hula hoop made from polypropylene. Its light construction allows for faster movement and makes it particularly well suited to tricks, off-body hooping and more technical flow.
What does a Polypro Hoop look like?
Polypro Hoops are made from coloured polypropylene tubing with a smooth finish. The colour is part of the tubing itself, giving the hoop a simple, vibrant look without decorative tape.
What is the difference between a Polypro Hoop and a Taped Hoop?
Choose a Polypro Hoop if you’re looking for a lightweight hoop that responds quickly to your movements. It’s a great choice for tricks, off-body hooping and faster, more dynamic flow.

Who is a Polypro Hoop suitable for?
Polypro Hoops are particularly popular with experienced hoopers and those progressing to more technical tricks and off-body movements.
They can also be used for on-body and waist hooping, but because they are lighter and move faster, they generally require more technique than a Taped Hoop.
Can a beginner use a Polypro Hoop?
Yes, but it may take more practice. The light weight and faster movement of a Polypro Hoop can make waist hooping more challenging when you’re just getting started.
If your main goal is learning waist hooping and the basics, a Taped Hoop will generally provide more weight and stability.
Is a Polypro Hoop collapsible?
Yes. A standard Polypro Hoop has a push-button connection that allows the hoop to be opened and carefully coiled down for easier transport and storage.
See the guide on how to take apart and reassemble your Polypro Hoop here.
What is a sectional Polypro Hoop?

Can I make my Polypro Hoop sectional?
Yes. If you would like your Polypro Hoop to come apart into smaller sections, add the Make it Sectional add-on when placing your order.
The add-on applies to one Polypro Hoop and must be purchased together with the hoop you would like made sectional.
What is the difference between a standard and sectional Polypro Hoop?
A standard Polypro Hoop has one connection. It can be opened at this connection and carefully coiled down for transport.
A sectional Polypro Hoop has several connections and can be separated into multiple smaller pieces instead.
The sectional option is therefore especially useful if you travel frequently with your hoop or prefer not to transport it coiled down.
How do I order a sectional Polypro Hoop?
First, add the Polypro Hoop you would like to your cart.
Then add Make it Sectional and enter the name of the Polypro Hoop you want the add-on applied to.
If you’re ordering several Polypro Hoops and would like more than one of them made sectional, add one sectional add-on for each hoop.
Can I choose how many sections my Polypro Hoop has?
Yes. When ordering the Make it Sectional add-on, you can choose from the available sectional options to suit how you plan to transport and store your hoop.
