Answers:
You say it gets dry after your period!. Well thats just hormones and it often gets dry from tampons and douches and other things like that!.

Doing it 2-4 times a day can also make you very dry! And sometimes it just takes a little longer to naturally lubricate yourself!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's actually called Atrophic Vaginitis

The vagina is kept supple and moist by fluids and mucus which are made by glands at the neck of the womb!. Oestrogen (the female hormone) affects these glands and the tissues in and around the vagina!.

After the menopause (the 'change') the ovaries make less oestrogen!. The lack of oestrogen leads to a thinning of the tissues around the vaginal area, and number of the small glands that make mucus reduces!. You also lose some fat tissue from around the genital area!. This causes the vulva and vagina to look slightly different than before the menopause!.
As a result the vagina can become shorter, less elastic, dryer with less lubricating mucus!. The genital skin looks paler!. These changes usually take months or years to develop, and vary between women!. Atrophic vaginitis is the medical term for this condition!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Maybe you are dry because your having too much sex!. I am being serious!. 2-4 times a day is a lot and the vagina can become raw inside!. Not only that but lubricant helps during intercourse but in the long run actually causes dryness!.
