Under your bibs
Do you wear anything, I have tried a few times but can't seem to get past not wearing something under my bibs.

No.
Bibs are meant to be worn right next to the skin.

The only exception is for my slightly large winter longleg bibs with padding. Without a thin pair of underwear they do bad things to my private parts.

I wear my winter tights right next to my skin, too. Never had a numb penis as a result.

If you're talking about base layers, I pretty much always wear one.
In the winter, I wear under armour's ColdGear mock turtleneck.
In the summer, it's a Craft mesh base layer.
Both go under the straps.

Nothing under the bibs other than some chamois creme for long rides.

Not the best choice of counter-example.

Interesting point.
If I had to guess, I would say that the people who wear underwear under their swim trunks are the same who wear underwear under their bibs.
Somewhere along the line someone has made them scared (or ashamed) of a penis.

I've read every BF thread on this topic over the years, and no matter how hard I try to wrap my little pea brain around this concept, I simply cannot understand why anyone would do this.
You seem reasonable. would you do me the honor and help me understand why you do this?

Hell I would swim naked if it would not blind everyone, send children to the hospital due to aneurysms, and get me thrown in jail.
No underwear under my swim trunks either. Isn't that what the mesh is for? If anyone is trying hard enough to look under my shorts they deserve the pain and suffering that will result.

I wear board shorts (swim trunks sans mesh), and as such I kind of have to wear underwear while I'm swimming in them. If you have suggestions for non-cotton underwear, I'm open for suggestions.
Plus they're white and when wet, well, we know what white plus wet equals...
