My first lenghty time kilted I experienced a minor case of helmet rub from the SWK saffron. I decided there that I wanted the freedom of going regimental w/o the potential discomfort. I wear large boxers, with flat elastic waistbands, with the cr0tch cut out - no rub, fully regmental, fully functional Two of the boxers have a large, roaring head of King Kong on them ($2 on the clearance rack at Kohls). The colors actually go well with the saffron. If I get the Question, I can raise the apron and roar. (Judiciously exercized, of course). I don't have to put chemicals on my parts, and the kilt is protected from body oil by an easily washed undergarment. I have seen at least one other poster who does this.
I can only surmise that nothing underneath was a uniform regulation to facilitate normal body functions w/o having to unkilt. That is the main functional purpose of going regimental. Many soldiers would sew a square of soft cloth under the underkilt to prevent rubbing (not that it would prevent butt chafing).
I highly recommend this approach.
