The detail in the text does say buxom hoopers should use their bust point, rather than armpit, as the better measuring point. I will try to make it more clear in the image, though. Thanks!

Just took a look at this, I think it's excellent! Here's my data-

Waist- 28"

by the calculations- 

Slow hoop- 39"

Medium hoop- 35.5"

Fast hoop- 31.5" 

personal info- 

I started with a 42" 160 psi hoop,  downsized to 40" 125 psi hoop after 6 months (loved it!), then quickly downsized again to a 39" 100 psi hoop. Since then, I've introduced a whole range of other sizes to play with on and off, ranging from 56" (call it my reggae hoop!) and a 36" polypro hoop that I use semi-regularly. Out of all of the different sizes I've tried, 38" at 100 psi 3/4 inch tubing has been the most versatile and enjoyable for me. I can core hoop with it as well as a lot of off-body stuff, which hasn't been the case as I go below the 36" diameter sizes.

Thank you all for sharing your numbers and comments. I've recalculated and updated the original post on Spin Matsuri. I hope that it will help out people when they are trying to figure out what hoop size might be best for them.
