I've only ever just worn 'street' underwear, or unpadded lycra shorts under cargo shorts, even when 30-50 mile rides were a regular part of my schedule. I have a Brooks, but it works on my leather-covered plastic saddles as well. I did buy a pair of Andiamos from Rivendell, and tried them a couple times. They were a no-go. They're in a weird limbo - too uncomfortable to wear, too new to throw away, and too embarrassing to sell. Do I really want to be the guy that sells used underwear on the internet?
Anyway - 100% cotton 'boxer briefs' from the usual mass-market suspects.
