I always used to, too. Just never thought about going comanche, LOL. But one day I had no clean thong panties, and I hate panty lines so I didn't wear any. LOVED it. I'll never wear them again. Your bike shorts have a chamois padding in them, don't they? That should absorb any moisture. The chamois is very soft next to my skin, too, and no seams. I'm not sure where the "rubbing" comes in for you, I don't experience this.
