Non-padded, non-bib lycra shorts?

Hey all!

So I know this sounds odd, but I'm looking for a non-padded, non-bib pair of lycra shorts. Not for the bicycle, but for the motorcycle (worn under protective riding pants in place of underwear). It's getting warmer out and on long rides I have a bit of an issue with sweating causing 'hot spots', especially where seams are, etc. I got to thinking that lycra shorts absorbing my sweat might really be the ticket. The pad doesn't 'work' in that position and would only get in the way. And I'm not pedaling so the 'bib' feature wouldn't really be helpful and again, would just get in the way.

Any thoughts? Any fellow motorcyclists tried something like this? So many put all sorts of things on their seat (sheepskin, etc.) to cut down sweating but it seems to me, moisture wicking under-clothes is the ticket.
