My hoops are about 12 inches acrossThey are made of a soft rubber based reinforced tubing that will not hurt your wrists or ankles
They do not need to be taped, they grip the skin nicely
The color is within the material and will not rub off
You will see the joining point, but it is smooth and flush
They have a nice weight of nearly 8 ounces each
Listing is for 2 hoops
