Natural Clear Polypro Tubing.
Natural Clear Polypro Tubing.
The standard for performance hoops.
Lightweight, rigid, and deeply responsive to movement — natural polypro is the tubing of choice for intermediate and advanced hoopers, professional hoopmakers, and studios worldwide. Available in six diameters from 3/8” through 7/8”, in both small and large coils, and in wholesale bulk quantities for high-volume makers. Every diameter is UV reactive and blacklight ready.
Why Natural Polypro
Light. Responsive.
Light. Responsive.
Built for flow.
Polypropylene is the performance standard in hula hoop tubing for a reason. It’s rigid enough to hold its shape and bounce back on contact, light enough to move fast, and smooth enough that tape adheres cleanly and wraps look flawless. Natural (clear) polypro has no colour coating — the tube itself is translucent — which means the tape is doing all the visual work, and whatever tape you apply reads as pure and vivid as possible.
It is also UV reactive: under blacklights, natural polypro glows, making it a favourite for LED and blacklight performance setups even without any additional coating.
Lightweight & Responsive
Rigid, fast-moving, and springy — polypro amplifies your technique and rewards precision in a way heavier tubing cannot.
UV & Blacklight Reactive
All natural clear polypro glows under UV blacklights. Perfect for night performances, LED setups, and festival environments.
Perfect Tape Adhesion
The clean translucent surface takes all hoop tapes — vinyl, holographic, grip, sequin — cleanly and evenly without any basecoat.
Six Diameters Available
From 3/8” mini to 7/8” body-rock, plus the 11/16” Goldilocks — every hooping style and body has a matching diameter.
Small & Large Coils
Choose a small coil for personal projects or a large 24” hub coil for studio and wholesale production — ready to hoop straight from the box.

Coil Size Guide
Small coil or large coil?
Small Coil
12” Hub — 100 ft
Wound on a 12” hub, small coils are compact and easy to store or ship. They require 12–24 hours to expand and breathe after opening before making hoops — and the inner coils may need some stretching to achieve larger hoop sizes. Great for personal hoopmakers and moderate production runs.
Large Coil
24” Hub — 100 ft
Wound on a 24” hub, large coils are ready to use straight from the box with minimal set time. You can maximise production speed, make larger polypro hoop sizes with ease, and work more efficiently. Strongly recommended for studios, teachers, and professional hoopmakers. All wholesale listings use large coils unless noted.
What’s on This Page
All six listings, explained.
Natural Clear Polypro Tubing — Standard
The core natural polypro listing. Available in all six diameters (3/8” through 7/8” including the 11/16” Goldilocks) in your choice of small or large coil, sold by the single coil. Best for individual hoopmakers buying one or two coils at a time. No minimum order.
Wholesale — 5/8” Large Coil (100 ft)
Bulk pricing on the most popular diameter. 5/8” OD natural clear polypro wound on a 24” large hub — ready to make hoops straight from the box. Minimum 2 coils. Insert size: 1/2”. Shipping is calculated on dimensional weight — email for a quote on large orders.
Wholesale — 3/4” Large Coil (100 ft)
Bulk pricing on 3/4” OD natural polypro — the heavier, more body-friendly diameter. Large coil, 24” hub, ready to use. Ideal for studios making on-body and beginner-to-intermediate polypro hoops in quantity. Minimum 2 coils. Insert size: 5/8”.
Wholesale — 11/16” Goldilocks Large Coil (100 ft)
Bulk pricing on the unique Goldilocks 11/16” OD — Hoopologie’s proprietary “in-between” diameter. Thicker wall than 5/8” makes it sturdier, heavier, and less bouncy, with a completely different feel. Excellent for large hoops that don’t flop. Polycarb inserts strongly recommended. Inner diameter: 1/2”. Minimum 4 coils.
Wholesale — 5/8” Small Coil (100 ft)
Bulk pricing on 5/8” OD small coil tubing. Wound on a 12” hub — allow 12–24 hours to uncoil fully before making hoops. Good for medium-volume production where compact storage is a priority. Minimum 2 coils. Insert size: 1/2”.
Wholesale — 3/4” Small Coil (100 ft)
Bulk pricing on 3/4” OD small coil tubing. Same 12” hub wound format — allow time to expand before production. Minimum 2 coils. Insert size: 5/8”. Note: all wholesale orders are subject to quantities on hand; contact us before placing large orders to confirm stock.
