Here's something I posted recently in another thread on the subject of people getting their first pair of proper padded cycling shorts, just in case it's unknown to you:

As a slight aside to your saddle question, but in further pursuit of perennial bliss (and my apologies if you already know this), but the chamois lined shorts are worn 'commando'.
Over the years, I've seen quite a lot of new cyclists wearing underpants or swimming togs or, on one memorable occasion, underpants AND football shorts () under their newly purchased first pair of proper cycling shorts, with pretty predictable (and painful) results: chaffing, cuts, blisters.
Also, chamois cream or balm is worth investigating. It goes either on the chamois or on your skin and greatly adds to comfort levels.

Again, my apologies if this is already known to you, but just in case...

I wear underwear for short cycles like my commute (not washing the things every day) but for longer cycles, certainly don't wear anything under them.
