1. A flexible substrate comprising a first dynamic region separated from a second dynamic region along a central axis by a central region, wherein one or both of the first dynamic region and/or the second dynamic region define at least one aperture having a major axis oriented substantially parallel with the central axis; wherein:
the first dynamic region defines a plurality of apertures having major axes oriented substantially parallel with the central axis and the second dynamic region defines another plurality of apertures having other major axes oriented substantially parallel with the central axis;
the plurality of apertures and the another plurality of apertures each comprise two apertures; and
further comprising:
a first fastener coupled to the flexible substrate such that the first dynamic region is situated between the first fastener and the central region;
a second fastener coupled to the flexible substrate such that the second dynamic region is situated between the second fastener and the central region; and
a third fastener coupled to the central region.
