Why Does Fentanyl Pain Patch Slippery During Sweating Used For Back Pain?

I wear a Fentanyl 100mcph pain patch for mi back pain and some times it does not want to stay attached to me when I get sweaty, is there any thing that I can do or use to help keep it attached to me so I get the full usage of it.
