I have a pair of the Tracksmith underwear briefs. They are a bit pricey but they are by far the most comfortable brief I have worn under a pair of tights. You also might want to look into purchasing tights that have a brief already built in. Tracksmith has those too.

Nike's aeroswift half and full tights have a built in brief (same as a normal pair of running shorts). Best tights tights I've ever worn. I refuse to buy tights that don't have a brief now.

I wear Saxx Sport Mesh (or something like that) boxer briefs for all of my running, including when wearing tights. (I have a spermstocele - basically a cyst on one of my nuts. It hurts when it bounces around. The Saxx “ballpark pouch” has been a Godsend for me for that. This sounds silly but I’m completely serious. And they work fine under tights too.

I had an unfortunate situation the other day where I did not wear something under a pair of running tights, and came home with some unfortunate chafing to the end of Mr. Johnson (I peed blood and didn't enjoy bathroom breaks the next 24 hours).
Typically, going commando under tights has not been a big deal, but I noticed (now) that this particular pair of tights has a crappy design, with a seam running right down the front middle of the fabric. (Thank you, adidas; how come you do this on your "serious" running tights, but my "hang out" running tights don't have the seam?) The chafing was a predictable result when you're an airhead, like I was that day.
Having said that, sometimes I'll throw a touch of lube down there and not have this issue. But, does anyone have some undergarment they would recommend for wearing under tights? (also a bonus for when it's colder) Running shorts are too bulky, and the nice compression halftights I have are a little too much. Appreciate any leads.
If your ordinary everyday underwear is boxer shorts I'd suggest switching to briefs. Or, and I mean this most seriously, a pair of women's panties with no seams on your sensitive areas works the best. Or you can go to your local hardware store and get some 30 grit sandpaper instead. To each their own.

I just wear split shorts under my full tights. Sometimes I might wear half tights underneath full tights instead, but generally just shorts under tights
