    Your hula-hoop should be a diameter which falls in between your chest and your belly button.

    The bigger and heavier your hoop the easier it will be to hula-hoop. Smaller and lighter hoops can require a great deal of effort and speed to keep a-going.

    There are also different pressure rating that can be used, some are heavier and more rigid (160psi & 200psi) and others are more flexible and lighter (100psi) More flexible hoops have a more organic feel, but they dont necessarily hold to a good round form.

    I like to put water in some of my hoops, and seal 'em with silicone caulk. The water adds a very interesting inertia property as well as weight. They seem to move with a mind of their own almost... lol

    hope this helps.

      I did have one a few years back, think i got rid of it to a charity shop or somewhere, but i think it was quite big and very light. Will try and get one
