Big Mama Hula Hoop
$49
Need a big practice hoop? I’ve got you.
Big hoops rule in the Ruby Hooping Queendom. The Big Mama Hula Hoop is simply a larger version of my Budget Practice Hoop. The only difference is that Big Mama is available in larger diameters for hoopers who want or need a little more size to get started.
Bigger hoops spin more slowly, giving your body more time to find the rhythm and making waist hooping much easier to learn. If you’ve tried hula hooping before and felt like the hoop just wouldn’t stay up, a bigger hoop is exactly what you need.
👇 FIRST THINGS FIRST: Let’s Find Your Hoop Size
Use the Quick Size Guide below to find your recommended Beginner Hoop size. If the guide recommends a 50″ or 55″ hoop, you’re in the right place! Simply choose the matching size from the dropdown menu and I’ll custom-build your hoop right here in North Carolina.
Ruby Hooping Life Rule #1: When in doubt, choose the bigger hoop!
Looking for a hoop between 36″ and 44″ instead? Check out my Budget Practice Hoop, which is built exactly the same way as the Big Mama.
Bigger Really Is Better
If you’ve ever tried to hula hoop but the hoop just kept falling to the ground, there’s a good chance you simply needed a bigger hoop.
Larger hoops rotate more slowly, giving your body extra time to find the rhythm, build confidence, and learn the basic waist hooping motion. That’s exactly why I created the Big Mama Hula Hoop.
Think of the Big Mama Hula Hoop as the big sister to my Budget Practice Hoop. They’re built exactly the same way using the same beginner-friendly tubing and spiral of grip tape. The only difference is that Big Mama is available in larger diameters (48″-55″) for hoopers who want/need a larger hoop to get started.
These hoops weigh approximately 1.5–2 pounds, depending on the diameter you choose.
Just like my Budget Practice Hoop, Big Mama gives you the exact same beginner hooping experience as my decorative Beginner Hoop. The only difference is the finish. Instead of decorative tape, it’s wrapped with a simple spiral of grip tape. That means less material, less time for me to make, and a lower price for you, without sacrificing the hooping experience.
Built to Last
Every Big Mama Hula Hoop is handcrafted to order right here in North Carolina using durable, beginner-friendly tubing that’s designed to last for years.
Your hoop arrives ready to use with a spiral of grip tape for extra traction while you’re learning. As that grip tape naturally wears over time, simply replace it and keep spinning! Many hoopers even choose to customize their hoop with decorative tape down the road, making it uniquely their own.
Even though it’s big, your hoop is also collapsible, folding down to about one-quarter of its full size for easy storage and travel. Whether you’re heading to the park, the beach, a festival, or simply tucking it away at home, it’s easy to take your hoop with you.
Every Body Deserves the Right Hoop
One of the biggest misconceptions about hula hooping is that everyone should start with the same size hoop.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
The right beginner hoop is the one that’s sized for your body. For many hoopers, that means choosing a larger hoop that moves at a slower, more forgiving pace.
Needing a bigger hoop isn’t a setback.
It’s simply choosing the right tool for the job.
Over the past 14 years, I’ve watched thousands of people discover that the right hoop can completely change their experience. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard someone say,
“I thought I just couldn’t hula hoop… it turns out I was using the wrong size.”

It was my first hoop and I loved it! I purchased it with the 6 week course and while I haven’t completed the course, I still use the hoop! I have never hooped before and this really helped me get the hang of it!

My favorite hoops are the big beginner hoops and Mama Ruby’s Big Mama hoop is perfect! Sturdy, well made, with great colors of tape to choose from. I highly recommend purchasing this to help you get started on your hoop journey. Or, if you’re a hoop veteran like me, then get this hoop! You can never have too many hoops! 😉

This hoop is the perfect beginner hoop for a bigger body (or just someone who wants a big ol’ hoop!). The taping was well done and trust me, it can withstand many falls to the floor or smashes into walls without serious damage 😉 I am so, so grateful that Ruby Hooping exists and helps encourage plus size people to give hooping a try and makes hoops available that are large enough for a plus size true beginner to get started without frustration that would come from trying to learn with a too small hoop. Without this hoop, I would never have gotten into the fun of hooping!
