Rhythmic gymnastics ribbons and sticks for training and competition
If you're looking for rhythmic gymnastics ribbons and sticks, here are options to equip your gymnast at every stage. You can choose a rhythmic gymnastics ribbon with the stick already attached, or a separate 56 cm stick to replace one that has worn out or broken.
Most models come with a 56 cm stick, although there is also a ribbon with a 50 cm stick. Colours range from combinations such as white-pink or white-light blue to multicolour and rainbow designs.
How to choose your ribbon and stick
- Stick length: 56 cm is the most common in this collection; the 50 cm stick is a slightly shorter alternative.
- Colour: choose between two-tone combinations or bolder designs, depending on the gymnast's taste and how she will use it.
- Complete ribbon or separate stick: if you only need a replacement, the 56 cm INDIGO stick may be all you need.
- Short 2 m ribbon: a more manageable option for gymnasts who are just getting used to the apparatus.
- Questions about the apparatus: in our guide on how to choose the right apparatus for rhythmic gymnastics you'll find more tips.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a 4 m ribbon and a 6 m ribbon?
The 6 m ribbon has more length of fabric, so it creates bigger, wider shapes, but it is also harder to control and needs more space. The 4 m ribbon is easier to handle. Models with a 56 cm stick come in both lengths. If you compete, check with your coach or club first to find out which length you need.
Which ribbon is best for a girl just starting rhythmic gymnastics?
To start, the easiest option is a ribbon she can control without tangling it: the short 2 m ribbon or the 4 m ribbon. A ribbon with a 50 cm stick may feel more comfortable in small hands. Once she has mastered the basic movements, she can move up to a longer ribbon.
How does the INDIGO stick attachment work, and what colors does it come in?
The 56 cm INDIGO stick has a free-spinning carabiner-style swivel, so the ribbon moves without interfering with your routine. It is lightweight and comes in fuchsia, purple, red, pink and white. You can pair it with the ribbon of your choice if you want a matching set.
What ribbon colors can I choose from, and how do I match one to the leotard?
There are solid shades, such as red, pink, purple or light blue, as well as multicolor combinations and rainbow designs. The 50 cm model offers the widest range of solid colors: black, white, orange, fuchsia, burgundy, lemon and more. When choosing, think about the color of the leotard: a clear contrast helps the ribbon stand out.
How do I store the ribbon so it doesn't tangle or crease?
After training, carefully untangle it and wind it loosely around the stick, without pulling it tight or making knots. Store it in a dry place, with nothing heavy on top of it and away from rough floors. If you practice at home, find a clear space so the fabric doesn't catch on furniture.
