Thanks for your question. I'm sorry to hear your frustration with vaginal dryness. If you want to try to produce more natural lubrication without the need for lubricants all the time--Add soy to your diet, if you tolerate it well. Soy products have isoflavones, which may increase vaginal lubrication. Soy mixed with flaxseed can be a potent combination that mimics the natural action of estrogen, a hormone that increases vaginal lubrication. Don't consume caffeine (or limit it as much as possible), consume LOTS of water, and keep in mind that certain medications such as antihistamines can also cause vaginal dryness.
As far as other things you can avoid-- don't douche, avoid harsh scented soap or anything containing harsh chemicals.
Continue to use the lubricant because lubrication isn't going to increase over night. Once you feel comfortable with your partner, then you can decrease the amount that you use little by little until you no longer need it.
