Spotted by 'Hypo' on Yahoo! Answers, this odd non-word appears on multiple sites selling these Karrimor tights (see moypish). It's evidently intended to mean "moisture", but it's hard to see how it came about. It doesn't look like anything a spelling checker would produce. Is it a failed translation from original copy in a language with a word like "мойпишь"? Is it a disgruntled copywriter's obscure joke, a portmanteau of "moist" and the Scots word "pish" (= urine)? Or is that over-thinking it?
Edit:
Sales sites with translations to other languages seem to have just gone with machine translation, and not bothered to tackle the "moypish" issue. Here's the Czech version (retrieved 22/12/2014, my highlighting):
