that spandex goes on the outside - tag and padding on the inside (and against your skin).

I go commando but my wife wears her usual synthetic boy short undies with her bike shorts on top of that. However its important to note that my wife hasn't ridden more than 20 miles like that and she pedals slow so I think chaffing would probably not occur given those two factors.

@OP - I usually wear jeans under my bike shorts. No one else does this?

Nothing under cycling shorts ...
But that said, I've done some rides of decent lengths (even recently) in underwear and regular shorts ... no padding.

nothing, the padding in the shorts isnt mainly for cushioning, it is to provide 2 separate layers of material to reduce friction. one layer moves with your butt and the other slides on the seat, the padding isolates the two from each other.

I prefer to wear a lace thong, with boxer briefs, a pair of old bluejean shorts, then put my bib shorts over that stack.
