Questions about birth control patch?

I got switched from Ortho Evra to the generic of it and it just does not want to stick for the whole week! When I shower the sides flap up and none of the edges ever stay down. I'm just wondering if anyone else deals with this, or if I'm just doing something wrong to mess it up. Also, since I started the new brand about 6 months ago, I cramp the WHOLE month, the only break from the cramps I get are a few days after my period has ended.
