Slippery Faucet?

You could super-glue the rubber bands to the faucet so they won't come off.

You might try some athletic tape like they use on tennis rackets or hockey sticks. Another option could be a plastic/rubber type of coating used for adding grip to tool handles.

When I don't want something to slip around I put it on a piece of the open weave kind of shelf liner. You could use that and tie it in place with a piece of cotton yarn like you use to crochet dishcloths with. That way you could take it off to clean/disinfect the entire sink, and replace it when needed, as opposed to glueing it on and the sticky stuff eventually wearing off, leaving residue on hands.

Try grip tape sold for skateboards. It has great adhesive that is very durable and it has a sort of sandy finish.
Otherwise, can you reuse your old knobs? I know you can purchase knobs separately, will your old handles work with the new faucet you bought?

I would also want to becareful with anything that may come off and be ingested....you could try to find some small non skid stickers like used in bath tubs and see how they would adhere to the faucet handles...
