Hi Gene,
You want the soft cotton jockey material.  T-shirt material would be OK as
I've used them lots of times over the years during a shoot while still on my
back! ;-)

The undershorts are best from the sit upon part, as your butt has ground
them down to an extremely soft cloth and make excellent lens cleaning cloth
after obviously being washed.

I realize there are some folks here, new and old, who poo-poo this use, but
then as usual it's from people who've never done it.

hell I used them on the lenses for my old Speed Graphic and it's still as
unscratched today as it was 50 years ago. All so my R & M glass new and old
look just fine.

Give it a try and you'll have more money for film or new gear, instead of
wasting it on that expensive fancy cloth stuff.
