Fit the helper at the upper ends
Place the upper end of each chopstick into one of the connector openings, leaving the food-contact tips below. Check that the sticks sit securely and that their tips meet when gently brought together before lifting food.
Hold the connected pair below the helper and practice opening and closing it with small, manageable bites. Fit depends on the thickness and shape of the chopsticks, so do not force a stick into an opening or assume every style will fit.
