Painful sex & pills

Ca

I was wondering if anyone else experienced painful sex while on the pill & how to solve it?

Personally I get small tears in and on the outer area and lube does not help. Have since went off the pill but would want to be back on if there’s a solution.

Also had read that evening primrose oil (inserted vaginally) helps for menopausal women (im not) experiencing dryness, anyone has experience?
