If that doesn't work, you'll have to get another brand/model of shorts/bibs.
Chamois cream was developed for real chamois, leather which crinkled, dried and became hard. It softened it and was essential. With modern products, that fit well, chamois cream is completely unnecessary. If you need it then you don't. What you really need is a better short or bib.
