MAKING YOUR HULA HOOP A PERFECT CIRCLE AGAIN

Maintaining the ideal shape of your hula hoop is essential for optimal performance and enjoyment. Whether your hoop has lost its circular perfection due to transportation or storage, fear not! With the right techniques and a little care, you can restore it to its former glory. Let's explore effective methods to reshape your hula hoop and bring back its perfect circularity.

Storage Tips for Preserving Shape:

To prevent deformation, store your hoop in a complete circle shape, ideally lying flat on the ground, such as under a bed. Avoid leaving it in a coil shape (and never use a full double coil), especially for extended periods, as this can strain the internal electronics and lead to permanent damage.

Additionally, be cautious of exposing the hoop to excessive heat, such as leaving it in a hot car during summer, as this can compromise its shape. Storing the hoop flat helps distribute its weight evenly and maintains its shape over time.

Reshaping Techniques

Sunbathe the Hoop

Allow your hoop to relax and soften by placing it flat in direct sunlight for a few hours. The warmth will make the tubing more malleable, making it easier to reshape. Once warm, gently roll the hoop on a soft surface, applying slight pressure to encourage it to regain its circular form.

Spin the Hoop

Engage with your hoop through playful hooping sessions. Hooping as usual can help the hoop gradually find its shape again. Remember, even if the hoop isn't perfectly circular, it remains perfectly usable for most activities, with minimal impact on performance.

Guide the Hoop Back to Shape

If your hoop needs a little extra encouragement, try guiding it back to a circle shape. Place heavy items beside, inside, outside, underneath, and/or on top of the hoop to coax it into the desired form. You can heat it up in this correct shape leaving it in sunlight (or use a hairdryer with a medium temperature).
