Hmmm... So the fully tiled room with the 3" hose is normal?
Once they got a bit older, training them to use the litter box was a pain. No one sells big enough boxes!

I'm the oddball. I just let my toddler go naked. It was easier to clean up the occasional pee puddle then to fight with her. I also discovered that she goes alot longer between pees then I thought, probably a couple hours on average.

Yes, I too have encountered the head-to-toe 'poopy mess' in the eyes, mouth and hair. Gross! But not an indication of poor parenting.
Here's what I did to help prevent it (we had 2 incidents):
(1) Name the problem in an understandable way. We called it 'poopy mess' -- two words my toddler already knew.
(2) Express the problem in an somewhat overblown expressive manner "Oh! Yuck! Yuck! Messy. Stinky! Poopy mess!" and showed her her messy self in a mirror before cleaning her, pointing out the poopy mess smears on her skin.
(3) Give instruction. "No more poopy mess. No poop on body. No hands in poop. Poop stays in diaper. No hands in diaper. No poopy mess. No poopy bed. No poopy bear. No poopy mess. Poop stays in diaper. No hands. Stay clean. Happy clean. No poopy mess!"
(4) Get her to repeat it. "No poopy mess." and "No hands." and "Stay clean."
These days, when she has a poopy diaper in bed, she leaves it alone, and happily says, "Mama! Poopy! Change. No hands. No poopy mess. No hands." So I can tell that she thought about getting her hands in there, but remembered, "No poopy mess. No hands." and she wants me to be proud of her.
As I was cleaning him I didn't get mad at him. I was just saying "Oh my gosh" a lot and "nasty, icky, gross" and of course "sorry sweetie". As I washed off his face I said to him "It looks like chocolate doesn't it --- doesn't taste like chocolate, though, icky" he grinned and giggled.

Well, Lorilynn, I didn't want to do it, but I so badly want you to know how much you are not alone and that this is COMPLETELY normal, that I'm going to do it.. . . I'm going to share this gross story with you.
Keep in mind, I have four boys, so you would think I would have figured out how this all works by now, but I haven't, not yet anyway  .
About 3 mos. ago, I changed Aaron's poopy diaper right before I laid him down for a nap. All clean, I laid him down, gave him his bottle (yes, I know, bad mommy  ), and left the room. About 2 hours later, I heard him on the monitor, happily cooing and playing. I went upstairs, all ready to greet my sweet baby boy. . . and opened the door to a kid covered head-to-toe in poop! The worst part, he had "dipped" his bottle in it and had it all around his mouth  . I lifted him out of the crib, took him straight to the tub, and began undressing him.. . .only to discover, he still had his diaper on and it was just wet. For about 30 solid seconds, I tried to figure out how on earth he got poop all over himself, the crib, the walls, his lovey, and his blankets.
Then, the light went on. . . I had left the poopy diaper on his changing table (it's attached to to the end of the crib) and had forgotten to take it with me when I left the room.
It still makes me nauseous to think about it .
I agree with Bolt's plan; that's pretty much how we have handled it with our older boys, and thankfully, Aaron hasn't done it since.
I'm sorry to say it but I'm laughing. It is funny hearing it from another mother. He probably thought it was a new toy.

My son is 8 and I STILL have trouble getting him to leave on his clothes (ANY CLOTHES) !
at 16 months--put your son in pullups. that way if he takes them OFF you can put them back on. You don't need to get another diaper.
Allow him to run around the house some without his clothes...as a reward for leaving his clothes on when you go out in public (I explained to my son that while it was OK to not wear clothes at home, in public or when someone was coming over, he had to wear clothes). I also made it clear that if he peed or otherwise anywhere other than the toilet or his diaper...
As my son got older, I started requiring at least shorts when he was outside in the yard (we live in the country, with only one neighbor that can see our house/yard)
A little older, I added he must wear underwear in the house.
He's a little better about leaving most of his clothes on most of the time, but he still comes through the door from a day out doing something and his clothes end up spread from the door to the bedroom...

Too funny
I actually litter (I mean POTTY) trained my son when he was going through his "little kitty" phase. I told him that he could only be "little kitty" if he always used the "litter box" because little kitties ALWAYS use the litter box. So he asked me what was his litter box. I told him it was the toilet...he litter (I mean POTTY) trained in 2 days.
