Specialized organs in mammals that produce milk to nourish the young.[1] Functional glands organs are generally found in females, although in some species (such as some bats, some goats, and penguins) males also are able to lactate using these glands.

In humans, the mammary glands are generally not refered to directly. When it is absolutely necessary to make some reference to this feminine feature, as in such cases where a parent or doctor may be required to report on some girl's physical maturity, a polite formula of words would be to just say that she "has been blessed". Decency and a proper regard for avoiding any opportunity for prurience would suggest that this should suffice.
