Does touching the end of an undershirt to the penis or anus after ghusl and relieving oneself necessitate wudu, knowing that touching the penis invalidates wudu?

Touching the male organ invalidates ablution if the touch is direct, without an interposing barrier. However, touching the edge of an undershirt while it is in contact with the male organ does not invalidate ablution, because the touch was not direct.
