The "chamois pad" in cycling shorts is there for padding, not absorbing sweat; any absorption is strictly incidental, and not so effective -- if you've ever changed a baby's diaper, you'll know what I mean: it just "helps" create diaper rash; same thing with cycling shorts, or any other clothing.
In fact, Under Armor compression shorts are designed to quickly wick moisture away from your skin... and they do!

I stand corrected... however, what read nicely
in theory, didn't quite work out for me
in practice, and rather than spend hours wearing (what amounted to) a soggy Depends™, I opted for the much-drier experience of
Under Armor compression shorts.
So, while I do change my underwear, I'm not changing my opinion.
