Discomfort with bibs

I had bought a pair of bibs this summer in a size L, which was the same size all my shorts were. I took them out for one ride and my manhood was being crushed to the point where it was incredibly painful to ride. This was because the shoulder straps were pulling the shorts up too hard (without the straps on the shorts fit fine and comfortable). Thankfully the shop let me return them (washed!) and I ended up getting an XXL size. Much more comfortable. However after a few rides with them there is still more of an annoying tugging feeling around the shoulders, especially when wearing layers of shirts under the bib straps, and I should note my lower body is very comfortable despite the shoulder annoyance. Is this normal and something I'll get used to?
