‘Orgasm’ hosiery bought & bothered

-

A Queens woman thought new stockings that promised an “orgasmic” experience would rock her world — but they left her as frustrated as a selfish lover.

So now, Meng Wang is suing, claiming in a new Brooklyn federal classactio­n suit that she was duped into believing she’d get some good vibrations from the pair of black Kushyfoot Shaping Tights she bought at an Elmhurst Duane Reade for $7.64 after seeing an ad for the product.

The Web ad features a woman sashaying around in the Canadian company’s hose cooing “highly sexually charged phrases” such as, “That’s the spot!” and “Oooh, yes!” while background singers croon “I feel super satisfied, super satisfied!’’ the suit says.

The softly moaning woman is “literally showstoppi­ng, causing male and female passersby alike to stop in their tracks to look at her with their mouths agape,” the document says.

“Towards the end of the commercial, the woman opens her eyes to find herself surrounded by a group of excited women fascinated with knowing her secret to feeling orgasmic on city streets.

“She eagerly tells them, ‘Oh, it’s Kushyfoot’ and distribute­s their products from her shopping bags to each of the women,” who then appear to be in the throes of excitement themselves thanks to the product, the suit says.

Wang got no sexual satisfacti­on herself after she put on the Kushyfoot tights, according to the suit.

The ad was “supposed to indicate that she’s getting a massage through her pantyhose,” her lawyer, C.K. Lee, told The Post. But the hosiery turned out to be “just socks,” he lamented.

The company has said that “the special ridged pattern on the socks helps relieve stress and promote overall wellbeing.”
