If I just tape then where they naturally want to fall, with some padding like Brad said, there will be no slipping because they will already be in their most natural position . . . DUH!

And it spares me from hassle, which I don't handle well
Well, I'd come and tape your bars this weekend, but I got to get ready for an event I'm going to next week. It's in the middle of northern Nevada. (Yes, I'd rather go to the wastes of northern Nevada than Hawaii. I never claimed to be sane.)
