Try Tincture of Benzoin on your skin before you put on the moleskin.
In general, you put a little on, let it dry (it gets tacky), then put on
whatever adhesive bandage you feel like. It makes anything stick better.
One note though... if your blister, scrape, etc. is open, don't get the
stuff in the wound - it stings.
