You could use a rope bag or small daypack to stuff the ropes into and hang off a sling below you.

The rope should feed out easily, allowing you to abseil quickly and smoothly, thus minimising swinging and bouncing.

Good to tie knots in the end of the rope as you do not have the usual visual clue when you are nearing the end of the rope.
For the first few metres carry the bag to avoid dislodging rocks.
Clipping the hanging bag into abseil 'biner rather than belay loop can help minimise discomfort between your legs.
