Wrap a component round another component

Hi everyone, this is my first ever post I hope it is not too bad.

I am trying to wrap a component around another one, like you would wrap a towel round a water bottle, but without much success so far. I have tried using the follow me tool, but all my attempts have failed I am wondering if it would be easier to just recreate each individual part of the component around the cylindrical component?

I have included an image of the components in question the flat rectangular component is what I’m trying to wrap round the cylindrical component. I would like the features at the bottom of the rectangular component to remain once it is folded around the cylindrical object.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you for your help I will try both TrueBend and CLF Shape Bender plugins

Is there a reason not to model the towel in place (already wrapped)?
