What is a "flexible ruler"?

A flexible ruler is a measuring tool made from a bendable material, such as plastic, rubber, or fabric, allowing it to curve around objects or follow uneven surfaces. It is typically marked with units of measurement, like inches or centimeters, and is used for tasks that require flexibility, such as measuring curved or irregular shapes. Flexible rulers are commonly used in tailoring, crafting, and design work, where precision in measuring round or curved surfaces is needed. Their ability to conform to shapes makes them useful for a wide range of creative and practical applications.
