Is it counter intuitive when you look in the mirror so you would use the right taper guard on your left side and vice versa? Or does it go from your own perspective where left taper would go on left side? Hope this makes sense, I’ve been cutting my own hair for years and this has always confused me.
I just don’t use them, but the shorter part goes towards your ear.

This is the answer. I usually take the attachment and comb my hair with it to make sure it lines up with what I want it to do BEFORE I attach it and start clipping.

I use both tappers, and go front to back, and then back to front with the low side towards the ear. This gets me most stray hairs with only a few remaining to trim after.
I’ve been cutting my own for years, never considered using a taper guard. Hmm.
The label corresponsends with the side you are cutting. The right taper is for your right side and left taper for the left.

Each works for both sides, you just have to change from front-to-back to back-to-front.
