Understanding Bra Size 18B
Looking for bras in size 18B? You're in the right place. At The Foundation, we believe that every size deserves comfort, confidence, and style. A size 18B bra means your band size is 18 (equivalent to a 40 in UK and US sizing), and your cup size is B – indicating a moderate bust volume relative to your body shape. This size offers gentle support without overwhelming volume, making it ideal for those with a fuller frame and modest bust.

How to Measure – Simple Sizing Guide
Getting your bust measurement right is key to comfort. Here's a quick tape measure guide:
- Step 1 – Band Size: Wrap a tape measure around your ribcage, just under the bust. Make sure it's snug and level. Round to the nearest even number – that's your band size.
- Step 2 – Bust Size: Measure around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape loose but level. The difference between this and your band size determines your cup size.
