I have small hands and find standard bar diameters much too small for comfort on long rides. Fixed that by adding a layer of foam pipe insulation and then wrapped it in bar tape. Done carefully, it doesn't look bad, last a long time, feels good, and reduces hand problems.

A double layer of wrap will work well too.
