I was quite glad to see you haven't had replies to this yet, hopefully that means it's just a local thing (sorry, I know that doesn't help you) rather than a national shortage like it was last time.
If you need something to stick well, strappal tape is the best thing i've found. I used to use it when i had trouble with blisters on my feet. I go on holiday and walk around ten miles a day, shower in the evening, and often didn't have to replace it until the third or fourth day. Downside was to get the sticky stuff of the skin when you wanted to.
