Padded lycra cycling shorts are designed to be worn without underwear, and most underwear has seams at the crotch which are most uncomfortable between rider and saddle. However..
Some underwear is cycle specific, it may have padding or simply no inconveniently placed seams. I have also found that some regular underpants can be worn with cycle shorts with no discomfort. The only point of doing this is that padding takes a long time to dry and if you want to wash and wear, it is easier to wash and dry thin pants than padded shorts. Wearing unwashed shorts with no underwear will bring on the saddle sores.
