There are so many reasons to consider handmade hula hoops sourced by a local hula hoop maker over and above mass produced and imported hula hoops, here are a few:
- Handmade and custom made hula hoops are made specifically to suit your height (it is ideal that your hula hoop comes up to your belly button as you hold it up vertically from the ground)
- Handmade hula hoops have grip tape applied to its design so that the hula hoop does not slip easily down your body as you keep it in orbit
- Buying handmade from local hula hoop makers means you are supporting local small businesses and in-turn our local economy.
- Handmade hula hoops are often one of a kind and very unique, something mass producers can’t afford to offer you.
- Handmade hula hoops are made with love, care and attention to detail.
- Buying from local Australian based hoop makers reduces your carbon footprint.
- Handmade = quality, products are tested usually by the designer themselves and as their name and reputation goes with that product you can rest assured it is quality.
- Handmade products = value for money, you don’t pay for wholesalers or middle men you pay for the product only.

Maria make the most incredible travelling hoops, not only functional but absolutely beautiful and perfectly weighted. I... recently travelled for 7 weeks overseas and whilst on tour, I assembled my hoop at each destination in just 60 seconds and was ready for my hooping workout, what a great way to keep fit whilst eating & drinking your way around europe, in fact I returned home 2kgs lighter, thanks Maria ��read more

Hi,
I’m 180cm tall, and I would love to start excercizing with the hula hoop, but I don’t think there are any hula hoops that come up to my belly button. 🙁
Hi Faye, thanks for getting in touch. My 100cm Fitness hoops should be what you’re after if you’re only wanting it for waist hooping 🙂
Hi
I am 165cm. Looking for a beginner hula hoop to do some waist fitness. How long would it take to ship it to Esperance WA and cost of shipping and which kind should I look at? Dance. fitness. taped. weighted? Never done it before but it is my new challenge for 2017 and it is already March!!!
Thanks to advise me on the best one and I will support Australian make and reduce carbon footprint (although Sydney to Esperance is quite a way). Could have it shipped to Perth if you think it is cheaper. Thanks for your time.
I asked for cane hulahoops
Hi This, I don’t stock any can hula hoops. I’m not sure where you could find them. Have you tried searching ebay? All the best xx
I am 57. My wife asked me a couple of weeks ago to buy her a hula hoop as it was something she enjoyed as a little girl. She would have happy with K-Mart hoop but instead i jumped online to do some research (its what us males do). I came across Maria and hula-hoops Australia and was impressed by Maria and her passion for hooping.
Well I thought if Im buying on for my wife I’m going buy one for myself and I did.
We love the hoops. I bought the 100cm Tarzan and its great being able to maintain orbit and it works the heart! Going to buy the $30 hooping classes for beginners. Wife already talking about off the body hooping and dancing.
Highly recommended.
