Hair removal at home low pain threshold

Hardly a problem in this climate but I don’t want to emerge from all this with a full moustache and have to keep my legs covered all summer but what do you suggest? I usually get my moustache and eyebrows waxed every 3-4 weeks (I would have had them done at the end of this week but isolating and working from home as vulnerable due to health (in my 50’s).
I have just let my leg hair grow all winter but it became ridiculous about a month ago but I was wearing trousers and thick opaque tights which I don’t normally do come April.
Can anyone suggest a relative painless solution (I could purchase online) which won’t make my lip or leg hair worse after years of waxing? I don’t want to shave as the hair is fine but dark.
Thanks

Hair removal cream? I think you can get milder ones for the face?

Shaving doesn't make the hair courser it's just blunt ended so you think it's courser, I use an epilator thingy on my top lip, the first pass does hurt but I do it slowly and after the second or third twiddle your top lip become numb and it stops hurting. Don't do it just before your period as it will be so much more sensitive then.

Buy some wax strips? Parissa are the best imo. I couldn’t get the wax to warm up on the veet ones
