I don't know about anyone else, but I go bollock-naked under my shorts. You can get some cycling undies, but I've never seen the point really.

Nothing. It may seem strange at first but consider the
combination of sweat,hair,cotton, and friction in the
summer time for 3 hours in an area where friction is not
your friend.

Nothing, unless the weather's cold, then a pair of
underarmor tights.

Maybe it seems stupid, but they become dirty while cycling,
why they do not produce shorts with u piece of
cloth(textile) inside like the speedos has?

Because any extra layers of material create friction. With
only one layer of stretchy material, there's nothing to bind
& abrade and otherwise cause discomfort. As for becoming
dirty, you wash your shorts after every ride, no iff, ands
or butts. If you're doing a long tour, you learn how to
speed the drying process by rolling them up in a dry towel.

Cycling underwear is not for regular cycling shorts, but if
you're wearing something that looks more like regular pants.
The fold on regular underwear will eventually chafe and be
very irritating. Lots of commuters aren't wearing cycling
shorts or tights. It took me almost a year of everyday
commuting to switch over to cycling clothes. I mean if
you're into utilitarian riding, it can take a long time to
switch into good cycling clothes. While cycling gear is the
best on the bike, sometimes its not real practical after you
get off the bike.

I think riding in regular underwear also contributes to
perineal nodular induration. That's the "third testicle" or
"biker's nodule" cyclists can get.

Here's a medical journal reference:

the cyclist', an under- recognized pseudotumour.
