What are some situations in which adhesive bandages dont stay on very well?

If an adhesive bandage is placed on a bodypart which will generally encounter quite a lot of movement/use, the bandage is likely to experiance additional "wear and tear" and probably come off sooner than expected. (E.g on hands, feet or elbows etc...) Also if the bandage is applied to a bodypart which is likely to get wet (e.g hands) the bandage is unlikely to stay on effectively. It is usually the two M's, "movement" and "moisture" which cause adhesive bandages to come off prematurely.
