"Boobs" might not be used in formal discourse (eg in news
media discussions of breast cancer), but it is a completely everyday
word for "breasts", and doesn't signal any level of value judgement or
carry any pejorative meaning.

Personally I never refer to my breasts as anything other than breasts ( or
anyone else's) but recently a fellow singer pointed out a piece of cat fur
on my shirt before we were about to go and sing, and she said "there's
something on your boob." I was a little taken aback since I don't say that, but
she seemed to use it as a normal word for her.
Peace,
