I've had the devil of a time trying to carry IWB. I couldn't even get comfortable with my LCP IWB. Last fall I got a deep concealed ultra shoulder holster for my Ruger SR9c and used that all winter. I really like carrying that way, though a quick draw would result in flying buttons. (They make hook and loop shirts, but I'm not crazy about those either.)
Alas, Texas summer showed up and I quickly realized that all I'd have by mid-June would be a salty, clump of rust if I continued carrying that way. I tried various bags and fanny packs. I even got one of those small back packs like you see bicyclists wear and recut the straps so that it hung under my shoulder. None of those options were particularly comfortable and in most cases I'd be better off by swinging the bag using the weight of my pistol as a bludgeon, because I never did figure out a way to reliably and quickly bring the weapon into play from any of the bags.
I'd bought a Crossbreed super tuck for my wife's Walther PK380, and discovered that my Ruger SR9c fit into it remarkably well. In desperation a couple of weeks ago, I tried it again. I'm not sure what I'm doing different, but it worked very well. It's been on my side at about 4-o-clock since. I'm surprised to find my self even more comfortable with it now than I was my deep concealed ultra.
My LCP .380 BUG stays in my right hip pocket in a pocket holster. I need to go back to carrying a spare mag for each in a belt case.
I really can't offer any advice as I don't know why something that bothered me so much last year feels so comfortable now. I'm just glad I've got a viable option now.
