Bike shorts are meant and designed to be worn commando.

Really? Huh. I guess I'll try that!

Yep! They are designed to be worn commando. If you wear undies, the friction can cause sores and rubs.

Very interesting, thanks! I guess I was expecting more of a consensus - "Of course no one wears underwear with those things" or something similar.
I have been going commando lately, but haven't been liking it. Also, hate thongs for working out. I'll check out some of the underwear from Kohls or VS!

I go 100% commando unless I am wearing something loose, but I usually wear tighter stuff.

same here.  compression = commando

It depends on the construction of the pants for me. If there is a front-to-back seam anywhere in the crotch, regardless of location, I *have* to wear undies or I risk the worst chafing EVER. Diamond-style crotch design only requires undies if there's no drawstring (as in, the waistband gap might show my crack if I bend down).

If there are built in undies or diamond-crotch with a waistband, I'm commando.

Always commando

I went commando for a run a few months ago.

Never again. Worst.chafing.ever. It hurt to sit down, for like a week.

I don't care about VPL. It's worth it to me to be able to sit down after I run

I do. I only wear VS thongs. It feels like nothing, but it it's enough coverage for me.

I have the same problem. I have tried going underpantsless in running tights, but the seams. They're in all of the wrong places and they seem so abrasive. It's not good.

I only go commando if I'm in a ballet class. I always wear underwear (modal cotton - super soft and wicking). I can't do thongs. I used to run in them, but that led to an ingrown hair - which led to a pilonidal cyst (and surgery to remove it) - and that just sucked.

Always commando.
