"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.
