Mine tend to slip as well. If I pull them up at the top, they slip
back down. If I also push them up just a little bit along the
wrist/forearm, it takes some of the tension off so the elastic can hold
them better.

You can buy something that looks exactly like that in
the bedding department, it's used to keep flat sheets
from slipping.


I had four of those bedsheet straps at the time, and they are what gave
me the idea. The problem with trying to use the sheetstraps is that
they're not the right length, and they're not adjustable.
