Wear a pair of briefs under the tights. Problem solved.
This. I like Asics performance briefs, but lots of manufacturers make performance boxer briefs that work equally well.
Just to expand on my above response, I got tired of the inner lining on most running shorts. They were too tight, too loose, chafed at the seams, and they wore out long before the outer shorts.
I now cut out the liners and wear performance fabric briefs instead. I can get the same fit with every pair of shorts. I can wear my favorite shorts without worrying about the scratchy liner. '
TJ Maxx (and other similar stores, I assume) carry performance boxer briefs in several major brands: Puma, RBX, UnderArmor, Adidas, Spyder, and Hanes. You can typically buy a 3-pack for $12. Bikini briefs are much harder to find. For that, I buy Asics ASX briefs. They're a bit pricey at $20/pair, but they're cooler for summer wear under shorts without liners.
Another advantage of briefs is that they help prevent frostbite of the genitals. Trust me, if it ever happens to you, you will NEVER want it to happen again.
