Ah, well, then, yes. Bibs should help. The other thing I find helps keep the chamois from moving relative to my nethers is chamois cream.

If you're riding with your hands on the brake hoods, that's pretty much where most road cyclists will be most of the time. Also the ramps, right behind them, or the bar tops when climbing in the saddle. The drops are generally used a lot less. If you can reach them, you may be able to practice enough to ride comfortably in them.
