Saddle pad slipping back

I've noticed that when I use my dressage saddle (with a dressage saddle pad) that the saddle pad slips back (the saddle doesn't slip back though and I've had a saddle fitter check it).
I've tried using the shires ultra no slip pad but it made no difference.
However, my saddle pad doesn't slip back when using my jump saddle with a close contact saddle pad and the shires ultra no slip pad.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I could stop my saddle pad from slipping?
Thanks
 
Presume you have had saddle fit all checked recently?
Some saddles and saddle pads just don't get on imho
Does it happen with different makes and types?
Yes I've had my saddle checked recently, I've only tried it with LeMieux saddle pads so I'll try it with a different one. 👍

See if you can borrow a few rather than buying to find something that works? Or buy cheap hair-covered ones off ebay ;-)
 
I've tried it with a saddle pad that's not loire and the saddle pad still slipped back (not as much though). Any ideas on what else I could do / use? Would a gel pad work?
