How would you describe a hula hoop to someone's who's never seen one before?

Hula Hoop:

A lightweight ring you step into the center of, lift up to your waist then move your hips in a figure 8 in attempt to keep the hoop up.

A tubular ring about 3 feet across.

@SpatzieLover A figure 8?? No wonder I couldn’t keep it up. I was just doing zeros.

First find a shape they know: torus, o-ring, doughnut?

Then describe the size: Large diameter, 1 meter, small diameter 4 cm. Or start with a pole as big around as an okay sign made with thumb and forefinger and tall as a man. Then bend it into a circle.

It’s very light. Kind of a heavy duty plastic straw.

Use: You hold it around your waist to get started, then wiggle your butt in a circle to make it spin around you.

A waist-bracelet, set in rotation by rhythmic gyrations of body parts, used for exercise and amusement. Results may vary.

It’s a lightweight polypropylene 1” (give or take) toroid tube with its ends welded to make an endless ring, diameter approximately 48” (give or take).

It’s “how to use it” that would rely upon some reference to “watch the video”.

To describe how to use it, I would ask the person to imagine putting a stick through it to twirl the loop. Now put the loop around your waist and act as if you are the stick.

It’s like a big drinking straw bent around to make a closed circle. A lightweight plastic tube an inch or so in diameter and long enough to make a circle about three feet across.

You’re forgetting the bright colors they were and how embarrassing it was to have them drop to the floor despite your gyrations.

Thickness of a hose, but goes in a circle and is hard and hollow and usually has corny looking brightly colored tape plastered all over it.

It’s a hoop that one hulas in.

Its a hoop that you can move your hips around in. Hard to explain.
