Chamois problem?

I have a basic Black Bib that fits well but I wanted to buy a higher tier bib not long ago. I bought a Primal Helix, mainly for the logo. I think it is supposed to be a better bib but I recently had an issue.
I have worn it several times with no problems but recently I got chafed pretty bad. It may not be the chamois but I have a few questions.
The chamois feels larger than on my black bib- like I stuffed a towel on my shorts. It is really noticeable when I am walking around. Is this normal? Is it just a Primal thing?
I have lost a little weight since buying them but not a huge amount.
If a bib and chamois are too large can that cause problems? I am wondering if it can bunch up and put pressure in spots.
I bought some chamois cream that may help.
If the basic Black Bib fits better should I just stay with them and get a higher tier Black Bib?
